But i do know that spinning tires is not a direct relaiton to making power haha.
Stock trucks can destroy tires a tb stall is a bandaid for a 224 cam nothing more.
Your right though the OP didn't ask for ******* comments but he also didn't ask to be mislead from a bunch of guys trying to talk him out of a stall he already has.
Not to mention ya'll wanna tell him to go bigger cam when he has no want "so far" to rev over 6200.
A big cam pulls later in the powerband not early...duh.
So if his rev limit for his setup is 6200 he doesn't need a cam like you have bud.
A cam with a usable powerband is what it sounds like he is after not something that sounds cool.

I am not trying to argue, but I think bluecajun was shifting higher than 6200

Even a 220 cam can be turned over 6200rpms and still make power but the OP said he only wants to shift at 6200.
If he only wants to shift at 6200 then there is no reason to go larger than a 220 cam. The 220 will already pull him to and past his desired rpm shift so why go bigger?
Thats all i'm trying to say.

I am aware that he shifts higher than 6200. And that is my point exactly.

rpm's and shift points are changable....6200 is not set in stone. I like all the options you guys are givin me. goals are only as far as my tranny will alow them right now.
question....what are the advantages of a split cam, either to the intake side or exaust?

I see what your saying and it makes sense... I road in the fastrt's truck sunday, he mentioned lowering the stall speed, which would allow him to make better use of the powerband of the cam he chooses... So since he only wants to spin up to 6200, maybe a smaller cam or smaller stall speed or both? Also changing the advance and LSA will also change where the powerband comes in...
Another option, today I road in an ext cab with a 3800 converter and a 214/220 low lift @114+2, and that truck flat out moved, only shifting at 6200, i was completely surprised.... It was really comparable to another friends 224/224 6.0, which both trucks I have riden in alot...
So with all the posts in this thread, I think we need more details on what the OP wants to do with the truck... Only spinning to 6200 kinda limits the cams one can choose to make full use of the power, at least IMO...
