ok, so 224/224 might be a little much for ECSB. so i can look into this 220/220, what is the idle like bluecajun? sound pretty good? if i am going this far in depth with mods... might as well get what i want out of it. anybody else comment on the 220? i am gonna owe so much beer to everyone when this is all over...

 

this cam was in an ecsb silverado. 13.8 with a 3000 stall i believe. im not sure on everyday driveability but its one of the cams im considering if the time ever comes for me. same truck ran 12's with a little

 

and you have to remember that 01thunder is with the 4.8. results wouldnt be as bad(speaking drivability) with the 5.3 but i cant say for certain how much better. one04fx4 will chime in soon im sure.

 

I have the 224/227 114lsa, IMO I think you would really enjoy the 224/224 cam . Depending on the lsa you get will depend on your idle. If I would have gotten that cam I would have gotten the 112lsa. The stall you have would make up for the lost low end. I noticed my lowend disappeared some, but I'm still running a 3.42 gear too. I just got the 224/227 because of future plans . I still need some tuning though. Hopefully will be calling Allen soon .

 

so the lobe seperation makes the idle diff. makes sense. so in the diff of lsa.. does this affect driveability? i am kinda dumb on this subjuct but i am tryin. why did you upgrade to 8.1 injectors? is this something i will need to do?

 

With higher hp output you will max out your injectors and they wont flow enough to produce the hp that your engine is capable of. The cam that oyu first mentioned I think would be fine. I should have my truck up and running with the cam in my sig by wed. hopefully if all goes well.

 

Ive got a very similar cam my truck is a z so its heavier with a 3k stall it will work fine. That smaller cam making it quicker is bs, I could only see that working if you dont have supporting bolt ons. As far as gearing 4.10 or higher would be more desirable makes stop and go easier, I have 3.73's also and a 3k stall I wont actually get moving well until around 2k rpms but at in fourth I have it locking around 1500 rpms and there is decent power.

To answer the question I definately dont think its too big you could go bigger especially if you go up too 4.10 or 4.56

 

yeah, after i heard 01thunders truck... pretty damn sure we are going with the 224. really dont wanna go into the 4.10s but if it needs it for the 13s i guess so. getting close to the point i dont care how it drives... but only close.

 

 

blucajuns truck sounds really good and boy does that thing turn on . i talked to dave from thunder and he said that the 220 would be better then the 224 in a extended cab. look up there website and give them a call . im sure they would be glad to help you out.
