I was wondering how a 212/218 highlift cam would work in a lq4 with 4.10s and longtubes and a locker with a good street tune and stock converter thanks.

 

It absolutely will... but that believe it or not may not be the right cam for you.

The high lift has a 115 LSA and no advance. despite its lack of duration, its a fairly rev happy cam. Similar to the stock LS6 and LS2 cams. It wont be the torque monster you think youre getting. The low lift is a 114 LSA with 2* of advance, and that is MUCH better for low end TQ.

 

so what cam would you go with, I was thinking of going with a btr stage 2 but idk

 

I have a 2,500 HD that is stock to the paper filter...it does have a magnaflow muffler lol.


anyways I plan to run a low lift 212/218 on a 110+4 LSA on the stock converter (if I ever get around to finishing my s10) the HD is the tow pig.

 

The low lift would be a better cam choice in my opinion. Many will agree that the 212/218 is on the small side for a 6.0 but since you want to keep the stock converter the low lift version would be a nice mod to it. What are your goals for the truck and what are your plans for it later down the road?

 

I plan on doing like a 32-3400 yank with a 4l80e probably after my wedding. also a bigger cam like a torqer v2 with a little spray

 

I'm one of those guys that think the 212/218 is perfect for the 5.3, but too small for the 6.0. Maybe look at the BTR Stage III truck cam (218/224 .553/.553 113+3)? I had a 224/224 cam in my GTO for a couple years with a stock converter. Everyone tried to tell me it wouldn't work and the world would end. It ran fine. A 6.0 can easily handle a 220 duration cam on the stock converter.

 

If you know you want to switch it up in the near future then why not wait a little longer and save more cash for when you go with the 80e and spray?

 

You clearly don't realize the modding (or any cash spending) stops once you're married.

 

I hope not lol so how about a 220 cam on the lq4
