I have a 224/230 610/605 111+3 in my stock 5.3 and it made 340rwhp @ 6300-6400 and was holding steady at 6400 when we let out. Shifting at 6800. I'd gladly run that in a 6.0. Made more hp and tq over the entire curve than a 216/220 525/532 114.

Put together a graph that compared the 2 cams with the same setup. If I remember correctly the only difference is that the Comp 216/220 cam we dyno'd in 3rd gear with cutouts open and the Eps 224/230 we did in 2nd. Would have made more power in 3rd.

 

What springs are you running with that eps cam?

 

Thats a big *** cam in a 5.3! How it is down low? Do you have any drivability issues? How high do you rev that thing??

 

Thats an awesome graph!! Great way to see the differences, I wish you they both would have been in 3rd, but still shows enough gain regardless.

 

what do u mean less noise on exhaust side?

 

used pat g and geoffs lobe that is easier and smoother on valvetrain
Read on EPS website the solution explains

just read it now it makes more since on why he said that thanks. for pointing that out

 

222/226 shift it at 6500 an let it do what it does if you want a torque setup run the trucker cam (high lift) an let it ride. No need to over cam a truck that isnt a race truck muchless put a cam you have to spin to 6800-7000 to get peak power out of.


Ive told you a million times the 222/226 is the biggest id run without a set of heads. You're wanting a budget build an ive pointed it out a ton of times.


243s stock
222/226 eps cam or trucker high lift
3000-3200 converter
Leave the 3:73s an put a tru-trac.
Do your other bolt ons and leave it alone.

 

Lmao I know its been more like a billion times u told me, but I just wanted to see what everyone options were to a simple build.

 

I like the sounds of that build... it would run real strong in your truck. Like 12's with good weather and traction...
