Cam choice help
#21
I have currently have a 224/232 581/596 114 lsa. I hate this cam i doesnt make no power till 4100 rpm in a 5.3. current parts on the truck long tubes,intake,4.10 gear 3600 converter. I see alot of people running the 224 cam im asking what a good choice in a good cam that makes bad power all around.
when you change one part you have to change several parts specially if you go over the 220 mark duration of a cam.. ya see the 220 is proven cause its used with stock parts like intake manifold, stock heads and so forth!! and doesnt need a very big stall. but youre going in the right direction a custom grind is always the way to go, i had one off the shelf cam, and it was my last!! heres a tip someone that specs out a cam wiill ask you tons of questions about your truck, they'll input all that info and pop out a cam for ya

i would agree but the cam is mismatched for your setup, you have nothing to help the cam, it needs the surrounding parts to make it all work!

i am getting a new cam soon and had PAT G spec one out, i also called a couple of cam company and their reccomendations were lower than with PAT G. I wanted a cam that gave low end power but maintained driveability here is what was spec'd out for. me. itruck is only a 4.8 with stock manifolds, (long tubes are going in soon as i figure out which ones will bolt up to stock cats) rest of mods in sig. anyways it was a 214/218 .600"/.590" 113LSA+4advance. don't know if it is good or not as everyone is running a 220 but i will give it a shot.

alot of people are afraid to run other cams than your tipical 220,224 and honestly those cams suck ***** compared to the ones i run in my truck. on my 5.3 i went 12.16 @ 110 MPH with 2-3 shift problems and i did not do no weight reduction at all on my truck. good luck on selecting your new cam.

seriously though slowswb, you can't go wrong with the 220. its been proven many times
