It's also a turbo cam not a pro charger cam. Those tick cams are not popular for a lot of reasons around here either.

Yea... dont get that cam. you wont like it at all.

The vinci trucker would be a good option. Something along those lines.

Prochargers don't need a huge cam because they do so well at making top end power.

8-10* of exhaust bias, with negative overlap are the basics. The rest is specific to desired shift points, how much boost you run etc. With a 3200 stall and a procharger I would definitely stay on the small side.

Making a blind guess, 210/218 on a 116 would be good

where is the best place to check on and tucker camshaft? did not want to go much more than a 3200 stall and loose drivability on the vehicle may possibly tow a boat on occasion with it so did not want to big of a stall for towing also. Thanks again for the advice!

My first reaction: Nope.

214/222 on a 115+3 would serve you well. It would rev to 6300 easy, and its small enough to give you plenty of pop off the bottom with that converter and a little boost. The exhaust bias is where you want it and overlap will keep it DD friendly, but it will be heard with an ORY for sure. The TSP 224 on a 114 looks nothing like that cam...
