Im confused, you wanted mileage, now you want a chunky cam and going with a verter. I just dont think that a cam above 220 is going to work best with only a 2600 converter, and it definetely isnt going to get any better mileage with any cam or converter you go with. If you want performance that 6.0l would love a mid upper 220's cam but that converter is too small for a big cam for max performance.

getting discouraged with the millage... some say 4.10 gears will help others say they will hurt a few say nothing will help... so finally i said F'it and i'm going to do what i want and see how it works out.. don't think it can actually get worse honestly.. town or highway driving like a grandma i get 12.9mpg with 3.42's

so i bought a stall this morning and going to get a cam and install 4.10's ASAP... already have LT's and ORY ,cold air intake, electric fans, and a tune.....

One of the main reasons id say stay around the 220 range is because of the heavy wheels, and I know a 2600-2800 seems like enough converter for a mid 220 cam but i dont think it is, even on a 6.0l. Get you a 220 cam and have it on a 110, that would be chop nasty.

Do them seperately so you can document the gains with each mod.

on the 110LSA what would the cons/pros be? tuning issues? idle w/ ac on issues? never heard/rode/drove and lsx motor with anything lower than a 112lsa other than a carb'd camaro with a T-REX

The tighter lsa is going to be a lil harder to tune, the tighter lsa will have a rougher idle and will be more peaky power in more of a narrow range.

I have a custom Ground 216/224 .551 .551 on a 110lsa and it has a bad *** idle. It is not that bad to tune either. The lower the LSA the sooner the power will come in, I love the low end with this cam...and I get alot of looks when I pull in anywhere with the wicked Idle.
