Okay, so I'm pulling apart the top end of the 6.0 I swapped into my truck for different gaskets.

The current cam is a 233/237 .579/.568 on a 110 LSA. I have a 222/224 .581/.581 on a 112 I believe. It would take under an hour to swap the cam out.

Thoughts? Swap it or go with what I've already got in there? I think I will be going turbo or blower at some point.

Just looking for some thoughts other than my own.

 

What do you do with the truck?

 

Is this for your avalanche? Do you have an higher stall torque converter?

I would still opt for the smaller cam in your avalanche.

 

This is indeed for my Avalanche. There is currently not a converter in it. I don't see going with anything higher than a 3000 RPM stall.

I drive it around town, I seriously doubt I'll really race it as I don't want it to break anymore than it has to.

 

If this in an in town vehicle and not your racer, don't bother with the bigger cam. The smaller one would give you a lot more lower end too.

 

Definitely the 224 cam IMO. That has proven to be a solid cam that can be tame enough to drive daily and won't kill off too much 'real low end' torque (below 2500 where you'll spend most of your daily drive time). That will be easier to tune and have a better idle and should play nicely with a smaller converter.

 

I believe that I'll be changing out the cam next week. I would like something that's easier to work with, and the more I think about it the more I'd agree that the 224 would be the better way to go, especially given the friendlier LSA.

 

motown muscle baby!
I am the guy on there with the 224 in a 6.0L and a 2600 Daco stall, my tuning has finished learning so it is running shoot me a message and we should meet up to compare cams before you swap it out.
I need some track times to see if it lowered my time.
