ok i have a tr224 cam which is a 224/224 .563/.563 on 112 lsa, this is going in a 5.3, since the cam is brand new thunder will let me swap it out if i want, would a 224/224 with .615 lift be better of an overall cam or would the 219/230 .607/.609 117 lsa which is known as the cheatr cam, im shaving the heads and was wonderin which cam would be the best situation for a 5.3 with around 10.5 compression and work well with the 4.30 gears and a 3400 stall, i dont want to shift it at 7000 so i think the 224 with .615 lift is out. the only reason im thinkin about using a different cam is because the guy at thunder said the tr224 was old technology and they have better ones now, im sorry if this is confusing. thanks

 

Interesting comment from Thunder, what cam did they recommend instead?

 

yea i was like wow thats weird cause alot of ppl on pt run them, he recommended that cheatr cam but idk if my stall would blow past the power range, i mean i am stayin n/a and i kno split cams are good for spray and FI but the intake on my heads flow better than the exhaust so maybe i need something like that, idk

 

it may be old technology but it works!
use your 224 cam
Your truck should do very well with a 224 and your supporting mods
Sometimes i wonder about there advise
What kinda power you made with the 214/220? custom grind or the old man truck cam

 

well you see i have the stock tune on my truck as in futral shut off emissions and increased rev limiter shift points etc, they claim anywhere from 305-310 but idk, since i dont have a stall it ***** and gets only at certain rpms, but at 60 its the man so watch out,lol

 

oh so you dont have a full dyno tune you got a generic street tune
Get a dyno tune you maybe surprised and may not want to change cams

 

yea well i want a dd close to high 12s low 13s

 

i cannot locate any dyno numbers of the tr224 cam, can anyone give me an idea or round about number, thanks

 

my buddy made 319 with a tr224 lts pulleys and efans with a tune
his was a 4x4 with a yank 3000 stall

 

well i hope that 214/220 does good cause i purchased one and i been asking around your the first with the cam can you tell me more like why your wantin to make a switch and is this your exact grind 214/220 .600''/.581'' 112+4
