help with cam selection
hey guys
ive been searching around and see that a 224 112lsa cam is a good choice for nitrous
this is a daily driver tahoe with a shot of nitrous for the occasional play time
04 tahoe- shorty headers, 3.73 gears with a 32.34 tire, hp tuners, e fans, tr6 plugs, slp exhaust, zex 150 wet shot, corvette servo, sonnax 4th gear servo, trans go shift kit
im also supposed to be getting a 2800 stall from a guy
would that cam and setup be good for a daily driver/play toy
i do tow a 1800lb trailer and 3400lb grand national with it from time to time as well
thanks guys
heres what i was lookin at

im not finding a 218/218 at texas speed and performance
what about a 220/220
i would like the 112LSA- i like to have a lopey idle, but then again i need all the low end i can get to get this thing moving
if i went with a 220/220 would i have to get the 918 springs?
could i get away with no convertor- or would i still have to run a 2800 stall with a 220?

Here is a thread you need to read through about the 212/218. Some good info in there.

...Yes, you can use LS6 springs they are good for .570 lift. You can buy that cam from comp cams website. You could also try thunderracing.com or ebay because the comp website is probably the most confusing and poorly designed website on the internet. But, the cam is the XR265HR-15 and the last number "15" is the LSA which is nomarlly 115. But, that cam specs are 212/218 .558/.563 115lsa. And that is the high lift version.
I would also order some aftermarket hardened pushrods.
If I were you, I would either go to http://thunderracing.com/catalog/?ac...d=308&pcid=122 and call them and order the 212/218 and make sure you get the HIGH LIFT with the .558/.563 lift mentioned above and also get the LSA you want whether 115,114, or 112 (think that cam comes with all those).
OR (this would be my first choice), call Thunder Racing and get them to custom cut a cam to the specs you please.
