Well Im finally replacing the out of place 212/218. I had just put it in my 4.8 a week before I blew it. I got a LS1 out of it so I got over it. I was running a stock stall at the time so I kept the 212/218.
Within the last month I finally paid some much needed attention to my truck and put a Midwest 2800 stall in. This now requires a bigger cam! So Im putting in the Texas Speed Torquer v.2 with a 114 LSA as well as a double timing set. I havent found where anyone here has put one in their truck. At least thats what the search button showed. Im expecting some really nice gains and plan on sharing all the info with everyone. Dyno numbers & track time. Its going in next week so f your interested look for an update.
Like I said the search didnt show any trucks with this but if you are aware of any please let me know. Later!

 

i run it in my truck with a 11.1 6.0. i wil tell you this you better get your compression up around 11.1 or more or that cam wont make the power you want. i also run a 3800 stall with mine, and you better get rid of that truck intake or youll never see any good gains with that cam. set your shift points at 6700-6800rpms. cam in most setups stop making power at 6500rpms. also run some steep gears. i run 410s and realize i should of went 430s for it. unless you run a 26" tall tire. great cam but you need supporting mods

if youre putting this in a stock 10.1 CR truck intake ls1 youre better off with a 224 cam.

 

you gonna sell your old cam?

 

Im running a LS1 with stock 4.8 heads so my compression ratio is PLENTY high! lol. This cam is actually going to help me in that area. Truck intake will be off soon anyway and a LS6 will go on. I have all the parts just need to install but im not too worried about it right this second. Im running 4.10's with a 31.20 tire. We are gonna play around and maybe degree it so we will see but Im not worried about my setup.

As far as the 212/218 sorry but tis accounted for!

 

you should of went 112lsa to help with your DCR. those heads will only bump you up to 10.8. buddy did that to his with 5.3s. you need more gear for that cam and those tires. im speaking from experience.

 

My comp ratio right now is like 12.3 to 1. Maybe not that high but its damn near pushing it on pump gas. Im running a 5.7 block with 4.8/5.3 heads. I was thinking about going with a 113 LSA and I still may.

 

how is it that high? 10.1 with slighly smaller CC head puts you around 10.8 unless you milled and ran a thinner head gasket then youll also need to check P/V and you can run 918 springs with that cam

buddy on tech 00blackss has that same setup but with a 112 and hes around 10.8-10.9 with MLS gaskets. he used 2.0 valves in the 5.3 heads

 

YOUR BUDDY DID WHAT WITH HIS 5.3? LEFT A STOCK TRUCK HEAD ON HIS TRUCK? I AM ALSO CURIOUS WHAT MATH YOU USED TO COME UP WITH YOUR PROPOSED COMPRESSION RATIO? IF YOU DEGREED A CAM (ADVANCE IT) YOUR PROPOSED POWER BAND COMES DOWN.

AS FAR AS LSA, IF YOU LOOK AT ANY CUSTOM TRUCK CAMS ALL THE LSA'S RANGE FROM 114-116 LSA. NARROWING THIS LSA TO A 112 IS GOING TO MAKE THE CAM PEAKIER WITH A VERY NARROW POWER BAND. VINCI HIGH PERFORMANCE HAS HAS A NICE LONG DISCUSSION ON THIS IN THEIR CAM FACTS PAGE.

AS FOR THE 224..... I HAVE AN 03 4.8 EC WITH 3.73 GEARS & A 3500 STALL & RUNNING A 224/228 114LSA & RUN MID 14'S ON STRAIGHT MOTOR.

I NOTICED IN HIS SIG THAT HE IS RUNNING NOS..... SEEMS LIKE HE WOULD WANT THE LARGER CAM TO HELP BLEED CYLINDER GASES......
