How will a 212/218 low lift be without a converter. I will run it on stock tune for awhile and will get headers soon down the road. How will the low end be like below 2500 with this.

 

well my cam should be going in sometime this week so i'll let you know.

 

Come on guys.

 

Thats a great cam I hear. I would save and do all of those things at once. Cam, converter, and tune will really wake that thing up. You wont think its the same truck. I think Scream ran the cam w/o tuning, but you wont get the most from it. My shifts softened up quite a bit when I installed the converter. I think those mods will do best with an immediate tune. Keep us updated. BTW you are the second person to steal that cam from me . Guess it just wasnt meant to be. Enjoy it and get some before and after dyno too

 

oh, I thought you planned on a converter. If not, I would go with Thorley's and a good tune. Your lowend will be O.K. but I think you'd love the gains from a converter.

 

I ran that cam in my 4.8 untuned, with stock exhaust manifolds and stock converter...best time was in the 15.3 range.

Just bumping the shift points up and setting the rev limiter a little higher, I got down to 14.77. With some tuning, a converter, and some traction, I don't see why this cam couldn't put a 4.8 RCSB deep into the 14s, if not into the high 13s. I would HIGHLY suggest a converter and LT's for this cam, even though it performed well without them. It felt a little sluggish down low for my tastes. It wasn't bogging or anything, just a tad unresponsive.

BTW...times and dyno numbes (untuned) in sig.

 

I will probably at least get a tune and headers not sure on converter yet. Just wondering what it would act like without all of this stuff right now.
