Sup guys done alott of research on trying to find a good cam for my ccsb 05. Im a lineman currently on storm in new Jersey and from nc. And when i get home i plan on waking it the hell up. Ive been thinking a tsp 224 111lsa or 112 cam and a 3200 yank. I also plan on building a stroker when i get my taxes back. Probably a 408. I would like to use the same cam back if possible or just buy one now i can still use. Also i plan on adding tbss intake and TB with full bolt ones. All this before my 408(if thats what i finalize in building). Will that 224 cam be ok for both or do i need to go another direction. Thanks guy and anything else i could or should need please let me know. Thanks alot fellas

I myself I have a 212/218. 112 , baby cam in my crew cab and just with cam and tune my truck actually does great for not having all the supporting mods. The cam pulls in all rpm range.. can't chime in on the 224.much. but I did help a friend install one a it did great all in his cc all in all these two cam are proven time and time again just what floats your boat. Also the tbss intake I hear hurts your low-end

Everything ive read said the nnbs and tbss intakes will be better. But a car intake like a ls1 or ls3 will hurt the low end and gain top end

TBSS intake does NOT hurt low end

And it don't help it either...half throttle feels like its the only range it gains anything.

I would also suggest getting a cam speced by Pat G. I am waiting for my cam from EPS that Pat speced.
I like my TSP 220 but I know there is a better suited cam to my truck
