yank tt3200 stall

but how high do you want to spin your engine? shifting 5800 6000 6200?
Where do you want your power down low, mid, high?

Take a look at these cams and note the Duration vs operating RPM range. Then get back to us with what you think might work for you.

x2..... Read the stickies in this section to start with. Use the search feature to try and find articles about projects similar to yours. You may not find an article that talks about your exact setup but the principles are transferable.

If goal is decent horsepower gain for a daily driver that occasionally goes to the track, then there are a ton of threads that have already addressed those types of projects. There is a lot to consider when picking a cam or any power adder for that matter. Do your research and make sure you have a good understanding of what your long term goals are so you don't end up wasting your money now on cam that won't meet your needs a year from now.

Like everyone has said: research and gather information from what has already been done to get an idea of what your looking for. You need to ask yourself what your goals for the future are...do you want stock or lopey idle? Do you want to idle around a parking lot all day? or get pissed off when your trucks stalls out right in front of the wal-mart entrance? Biggest thing is what you want. Everyones opinoin on a great set-up for a situation like yours is going to be different. You already have two suggestions-there is just no clear cut answer. My truck is daily driven; I have a tr224-112 and love it. I need a tt3000 stall and really want a bigger cam on a 110lsa. Get back to us on some cams and stalls that you are considering and then poeple with those set-ups will chime in with their thoughts. Good Luck and keep us posted.
