i'm looking at a cam i found on another site. i'd like to hear some input as to wether it will work for me or not. the specs are 228/232 .588/.575 113 lsa. current mods are 4.10 gears, mail order tune, e-fans, and 2200 stall.

what size truck and motor. thats alot of cam! youll need ALOT more stall than that. im no cam guru but can say wont work with confidence....if you have a large displacement motor like a 408 its a different story

do some research. we have guys runnin mid 12's N/A with 5.3 scsb. read up on the 216/220 and the tr220. those are what im looking at but both will need a 3000 stall converter

i agree with the other guys. the cam will work well, but you're going to need alot more stall than that.

That cam sounds good, your gunna need at least a 3000 stall, probably a 3200 just to be safe, I'm going with a cam just a tad bigger, specs are 232/234 .590/.585 113lsa, the guy that's grinding it for me said I may be able to get away with a 3000 stall, but it would be best to go with the 3200 just to be safe

its a big cam but it depends on what you want to do...

for that like size you will need a 3000+ stall and its gonna lope good

i have a 210/218 but im putting a 220/220 in shortly

Those are some big-*** cams for a daily driver!!!! Bigger isnt always better when it comes to daily drivers!!! A 220 or 224 would be perfect, but its not my truck. Just a word of warning. Not trashin yall or nothin just dont go too wild for a dd, especially in a 5.3 or 4.8.

Any cam can be a good DD with a good tune, a guy on ls1tech has a way bigger cam I believe its 242/242 and he is still getting great gas mileage so he says, also mines is going in a LQ9
