thanks for the post.

I know my 4L60E will only last a short time now. I'll just drive it 'till it starts failing though.

a TR224 on a 112lsa and a 3000converter should be good for that 6.0

I would thinka tr224 would be the SMALLEST I would put in the 6.0l. People put the tr220 in a 5.3l and DD with no probs. A few even the tr224. So step up the cubes and the cam needs to be a little bigger.
I dont knwo much about cams but from what I read I think and hope this might help you a little bit.

Pardon my stupidity...but the "TR 224" is a thunder racing cam right?

I don't use the truck as a daily driver, but I don't want to work at driving it on the weekends. I'd like to be able to drive it normally, the TR224 will give me that much right?

also, the lower number LSA indicates more lope at idle right? A 114 LSA won't lope as much as a 112 LSA cam right? But what else does that number mean, more power, higher RPM power band, what?

Thanks for the help guys!

get allen to tune either of the cams i mentioned and you shouldnt have any drivability issues. especially with a 3000 stall. a 6.0 will take more cam because the cubes eat it up some. like a tr224 is big cam on a 4.8, good size on 5.3 and an average size for the 6.0.
