parish, why didn't you get a cam while you had that 6.0 sitting on the stand?

 

another $500 bucks is why, with springs that is. and i dont really know what i want for a cam, it is a hard decision.

i want a hard core 409 turbo cam, now what would that be for specs?

 

well, you could have just bought a decent little reverse split cam for the 6.0 and sold it once you get the 409 going. as for that cam, it depends on if you want to stay hydraulic or go roller. but i would thing something hard core would be like a 295/305 .590/.600 113 or something like that....a buddy of mine has something comperable to that about to go into a 5.7 nitrous motor, and he works for a speed shop down here and expects to make 300+ on this cam with just a 200 shot.

 

These motors are hydraulic rollers to start with ... He should be making a bit more than 300 with that cam alone, then add for the 200 shot.

Parish .. I agree though, you could have gotten a used TR224 or something a little smaller for not much, same for springs. That would have been the thing to do while you had the motor out and easy to work on.

As for a wild *** turbo cam .. I'd call Comp Cams and see what they say. I'd be interested to know what they recommend.

 

My buddy has a thunder 220 in the 5.3 that's in the truck right now. He will probably put that cam into the 6.0 when he does the swap.
