I am considering putting this cam in my truck at some point. Plans are 3200 stall and longtubes as well. Is this cam to much for the motor? I also plan on getting heads if I get this cam, but at a later date.
TIA

 

i wouldnt say that it is too much for the motor.BUT i would say that it is quite a but too much for the stall especially depending on 1, how loose your stall is, and 2, what cab you have on your truck. if it were me, and i wanted that cam i would look into a 3600 stall or something but some people dont want to have to deal with that for a DD. with my cam, an FMS 224/228 .588 .576 112 with a 3200 stall that is pretty loose and will actually stall to 3400, it feels pretty good. i would say a 228/228 is getting a little big depending on supporting mods and your goals though.

 

Little big for what you say your planning on running for sure.Your gonna want to run a bigger stall than that with a cam of that size for a nice launch or else it will end up feeling like a dog until you hit 4000 rpms.
BTW:Soon what does your truck dyno/run quarter?

 

I would like to make around 400 rwhp N/A when its done. I would be willing to go to a 3400 stall, but I kind of thought a 3200 would be enough??? I have an ext-cab.
I was also considering a 224/224 .581/.581 112 if the 228 would be too much.

 

damn touch, i hate posting my numbers up haha but here it goes (i have reasons) it did 275/301 BUT this was one a TERRIBLE tune, only 20* of timing to say the least, and it was WITHOUT my LT's, cutout, and efans. so im thinkin right now, to bench-dyno myself im probably at 325/330 or something MAYBE never been to the track though. im not going to go until i have another spare tire rim and 2 ET streets. i would hope for high 13's though i think.

 

3200 with that cam on an extended cab wouldnt be close to enough

 

If your in a extended cab then yes thats gonna be too much man.The 224 with a 3400 stall should do decent.
If your wanting to hit 400hp N/A on a 5.3 it's gonna take alot to get it there.
With full bolt ons and that cam you would hit around a 340-355ish range.
Your gonna have to do heads and more than likely swap the truck intake out for a Fast or LS6 intake.
Also don't forget the rod end bolts on these motors can give.With a 224 cam and the intake swap your gonna want to spin that thing to at least 6800 or so to make the most out of that cam and head combo.

 

Didn't mean to call ya out lol.You could have PM'd....
Those numbers arn't bad though man.If you had it redynod and it did infact hit what your thinking those are good numbe indeed man. Now go get some ET's lol!!!!

 

This is definately a learning curve for me, so I am open to any suggestions.

 

400 on a 5.3 N/A is not a easy goal honestly.
It will take full bolt ons cam heads and like i said prob a intake swap to reach it.
