Default Considering a Cam

Im considering a Thunder Racing 224 cam kit for my Denali on a 112LSA. With LS1 edit tuning of course. What do you all think?

I'll get mine tuned and the exhaust done and let you know.

I like the power on my 226/.535/112 and power band is a little better than my 02' Z06 cam with more power up top. I stall out in power at 5900 and stay flat till 6500 so I need to figure out why.

My truck weighs about 4850 for normal everyday driving so it may be a little lighter than yours. Ohh, and a 3500 stall would work awesome with these bigger cams.

I guess it depends on if you plan on putting the bottle on it later or not. I designed my cam to give me a ton more power from 5000-6500 (90-100hp gain) without losing anything from 4000-5000 (only a 35-40hp gain there) so that I could add the bottle and make up all that bottom end with the huge TQ spike you get from nitrous. So in the end I'll have a nice flat powerband from 3500rpm-6500rpm with almost no bad spots.
