ECSB Guys... 224/224??
hey is this 224/224 to big for an ECSB??? i was told it might run quicker with a smaller cam. said it might be a little too much for the 5.3... i wont do any wieght reduction... i like the bumber, i use it to back into the niebors car. with the 3K stall and 3.73s, how is it gonna behave just in traffic/in town? i mean i want it quick and the rough idle is bada$$ but i wanna be able to USE the truck. i dont tow, but my girlfriend is HUGE.
if she aint 380, she aint my lady

well, that cam will lope like a ****, two members off the top of my head that run that cam are slowprocess and 01thunder. thunders is a 4.8 and slow's is a 6.0. lots of tuning i think was required for thunder but if he chimes in he can better answer that.
i dont' think it would be too big as long as you have a nice stall and the gears for it. also, those two members have single cab trucks. which is a good bit lighter than our ecsb's.

see, allen suggested this cam. i dont know much about the cam/driveability so i am kinda going out on a limb here. i dont think he would reccomend it if he didnt think it would work, but i am catching lots of flak for it. i havent bought it yet, i wanted yalls opinion. i WANT it to lope like a ****... but i dont want it so bad i cant drive it. what would be a decent cam for a daily abuser, and still idle like it is missing half the block? i want to break up the pissed off bumble bee sound and get a little extra hp ( please lord... even a 13.99 lol)

pm the guys i listed and get their overall oppinion on driveability. i think it can be done very easy. allen nelson already has the tunes on file for this cam since slowprocess is tuned by him. also, you can do a search in the multimedia section of slowprocess. he has a vid of his truck idling with that cam and cutouts open.

Thinders cam is the TR224 what does having the extra 4 ground into it. Could I just degree the cam by 4 degrees? I believe thunder has Allens tune it as far as I know all he has is Autotap which that was couple of months ago so who knows.
