C2 - 224 224 .581 .581 112

I dont have a stall, but how do you guys think this cam will do in my 6.0 after it gets retuned??

 

even with a 6L i would think you would need a stall. either way, i think that cam would be nice in there. you'll have a noticible lope. and as you said, tuning which you have and can get redone will be a must.

 

I just installed a 216/220 comp in my truck and I do not have a stall either. I didn't see a big difference in the low end like I expected. Mine pulls pretty strong. I have 1.8 rockers on my setup so my lift is around 550/560. I agree with the more cubes more cam theory. Allen talked me into the 216/220 and it works really well. For a 6.0 I would go for it, just make sure you get it tuned.

 

actually I was contemplating a cam from TSP that is close to that lift but 225/225. they said I would need a 2600 stall or higher. cheap wise a TB stall would work and since my truck already has traction problems it would work well even though it might be a little slower off the line as soon as I hit mid range it would fly. might actually be faster with a smaller stall since once again can't get traction. I would put a stall in on this cam the speed is up to you and how much $$ you want to spend.

 

Hey Chago, I'm gonna Hijack this thread.

Mattrem,

How do you like that 216/220 cam? That is the one I am thinking about getting for my truck. How does it idle? Any noticable lope to it? Did you have it dyno'd to see what you gained from it?

You wouldn't happen to have any sound clips would ya?

 

Your going to need a stall and some retuning

 

Ill,

What are your goals? I can't keep up.
Depending upon what you are looking for, there may not be any reason to use that much lobe...

 

I have had the cam in for a week, It is pretty bad ***. The tune is getting better everyday. Allen raised the idle to around 700 rpms, I think it can be alittle lower, but it might stall. It has noticable lope and idles real well. I couldn't get to the dyno, the guy is too dam busy, ( AWD Dynojet, that even fits my SS). I can tell you that it has alot more power than the stock cam after 2500 rpms, like it puts you back in the seat power. I don't have any clips, I will try to get one of my high tech computer friends to help with that. I have 1.8 Harland Sharp roller rockers which put the lift at 555/563. With your stall it would really run.

 

Yeah, I didn't even notice that you had an SS. I bet that thing screams. I can imagine that it is difficult to get it to a dyno for the AWD though.

 

We have real similar trucks... I ran a 220/220 .550 112 in mine before I had headers. I didn't and still don't have a stall installed. I tuned it with my own internet-trained tuning methods.

It was pretty light in the loafers under 2,500. The weaker lowend was very apparent where I live - it's very hilly around here, so I was always having to roll fairly heavily into the throttle at every hill - sometimes needing a kickdown to the next gear down.

It loved to be revved and driven hard. It had a big top-end. I wish I ran it at the stip, but I never got around to it. A few days before I pulled it, I caught a nasty 2nd gear downshift from ~55mph and I couldn't believe the way the truck responded. It really made me want to keep it in there.

I basically found that I'm happier with more torquey / lower-end powerbands.

The 220 seemed like a midrange/top-end screamer. Two different things I guess...

I'm not sure how it would have worked with headers - probably decently - maybe enough for me to have kept it. The headers added power throughout the entire RPM range for me.

The idle sounded pretty good. I miss it.
