ok i have a tr224 cam which is a 224/224 .563/.563 on 112 lsa, this is going in a 5.3, since the cam is brand new thunder will let me swap it out if i want, would a 224/224 with .615 lift be better of an overall cam or would the 219/230 .607/.609 117 lsa which is known as the cheatr cam, im shaving the heads and was wonderin which cam would be the best situation for a 5.3 with around 10.5 compression and work well with the 4.30 gears and a 3400 stall, i dont want to shift it at 7000 so i think the 224 with .615 lift is out. the only reason im thinkin about using a different cam is because the guy at thunder said the tr224 was old technology and they have better ones now, im sorry if this is confusing. thanks

Interesting comment from Thunder, what cam did they recommend instead?

yea i was like wow thats weird cause alot of ppl on pt run them, he recommended that cheatr cam but idk if my stall would blow past the power range, i mean i am stayin n/a and i kno split cams are good for spray and FI but the intake on my heads flow better than the exhaust so maybe i need something like that, idk

it may be old technology but it works!
use your 224 cam
Your truck should do very well with a 224 and your supporting mods
Sometimes i wonder about there advise
What kinda power you made with the 214/220? custom grind or the old man truck cam

well you see i have the stock tune on my truck as in futral shut off emissions and increased rev limiter shift points etc, they claim anywhere from 305-310 but idk, since i dont have a stall it ***** and gets only at certain rpms, but at 60 its the man so watch out,lol

oh so you dont have a full dyno tune you got a generic street tune
Get a dyno tune you maybe surprised and may not want to change cams
