Default Just got back from the shop... :)

just got my truck back from the shop where they installed the cam (TR224 112), ALL I CAN SAY IS I LOVE IT!!!!!! drives a lot better then i thought without a tune, i think i can easy drive it to work for 2 weeks before it gets tuned, it doesnt even get killed when i stop but it does ALMOST!! i love the sound...

just 1 question: i hear a lil bit of noise on both side of the motor when rpms are at 1200 and higher, kinda like tic, tic, tic, tic...... im gueesing its from the new springs, am i right?(or are the pushrods doing it?) i know my quad made more engine noise after i installed a cam...

thanx and i`ll upload a video in youtube and post the link

Well to bad its there but I'm glad its normal, I was a little worried!!(So the springs make the noise?) And stall isn't that bad with 2500 but then again I havnt really droven it yet, I will probably go to 3000 not higher cuz its a daily driver, anyone what that cam or near let me know what stall u have for a daily driver

3200-3400 converter would work well with that cam in a 5.3 but if you're set on staying at 3k and below, that will still be better than 2500

Yup. I went from a 2800 to a 3600 and it was a night and day difference.
