I would go with the 224/224 minimum. That's what Zippy runs in his lq4 tahoe w/stock converter and exhaust and it has no lack of lowend whatsoeevr

so you think the 218/224 with the TT3000 will be a little small?

I ordered a cam myself from EPS (engine power systems). The guy who owns it said he was the one that developed all of the Thunder Racing cams. So he knows his stuff. Call him up and tell him what you're looking for with your setup and he'll get you setup I'm sure.

geoff is a good guy. Him and patrickg spec cams very similar. You wont be disappointed with them. But i bet you get one similar to what you are looking at. He has again designed his own lobe like he did when he was at thunder.

X2 Talk to Zippy about his Tahoe. He will steer you straight and you can buy the stuff from him too. I hear his Tahoe is bad ***.

I'm extremely happy with my setup after about 2000 miles, gobs of torque, and pulls like a ****.

im getting confused lol..some say that a tr220 in their 6.0 got eaten up and you could barely tell it was there, so to go bigger..some say no bigger then a tr220 and some have a cam smaller then a 220 and love it..

I guess heres what i exactly want..I want it to have a little chop at idle..i know that ruins a little driveability, but i just love that sound..I dont do much towing..I do quite a bit of city driving...I just want something that will throw down some power when i stomp on it..I can barely spin the tires right now even with the stall..i guess thats how i explain it lol
