A TR220/220-.551/.551 112LSA...same cam i have in my truck makes for a very nice powerband in the 5.3 trucks.It's great with a very streetable 3000stall and makes great power throughout the band.Any larger and it's overkill on a 5.3 IMO.

I don't have any sound clips right now.I could go outside start her up and let it idle then upload it to the comp etc etc.It takes a decent amount of time all together though.With uploading and all at least 30mins.
It's not the old mans cam.The old man cam it's very good IMO.
It has a decent lope to it.Do i wish i had gone bigger.Hell no.Everyone goes bigger.As for as i know i am the only one on these boards to go this small and id yno at 356/350 and turn it to 6700rpms.
Larger is not always better as the truck intake keeps me from being able to turn any higher.Same thing applies with a larger cam.A larger might peak a little higher than mine but mine has a more usable powerband.
IMO it's a perfect cam for what i want/need and i only run a 2600 stall and she rips from the line.
Times will be posted up after a track visit this 4th.

Thanks.
I'm curious cause I'm about ready to pull the trigger on a 6.0 myself. Was pondering what cam to go with. I was looking at the TR224, but I only want to run the trailblazer converter, so that cam would have been too big for it. Looks like the TR220 may be a good match, cause from what i read the TB Verter will stall to ~2500, which is good enough for a DD.

The program is building a timeline as we speak then i can upload it to a host and post it up.
The 220 will work great with a TB stall.It's a looser vertor than the one i ahve.I am running a Yank2600 and it's very tight.Even behind the 6.0 it still holds it stall of 2600.Most stall up higher with the extra torque a 6.0 puts out as they build them designed for the power os the smaller engines...
Anyway a 6.0 and a TB stall will end up flashing to about 2800rpms.That would put you at a very nice spot off the line.I just hope you ahve tires that will stick!!!!
