I have begun to seriously think about picking a cam up sometime this summer. so far the main one i am looking at is the vinci 062. now i read the cam thread and have somequestions. the thread said 2000+ stall and vinci sight said stall is desierable so do i truely need a stall or can i skip that. also if i were to get this cam with a nelson tune lts and other boltons how would the tranny react to the new power? now for the speaks on the truck hopfully help anwser my questions 99 1/2 ton 5.3L 4.56's front and rear and i have about a 35" tall tire on it and it wieghs in the niegborhood of 6000 pounds.

 

Well I have a slightly bigger cam. TR 220 with a stall. I put my cam in on Monday and the truck pulled like a ****. By thursday the tranny went BOOMMM! So I think it did not like it.

 

what vinci basically means is you can get away with the stock converter. but it'll be somewhat soggy taking off. the powerband is raised above where the converter will reach it's stall point (about 1100-1500). so, by using a higher than stock stall converter, you'll pass the soggy point and will get you closer to torque peak.

 

I gained lowend with the 062

I went from 2.2 60fts stock cam to to 2.0s 60 fts with the 062
and thats with the stock verter

 

im trying to get VHP to do a cam GP.. see down about 4-10 posts

the 44 is supposed to be a good idling/torque cam also... im probably gonna get that if the GP price is good.. its 114 like our stock cams so the idle should be pretty fair without any tuning..

112 would be a lil harder to tune, but it would sound mean

 

sounds like a good pic on the cam might work out well with your gearing and a 2200 stall. Might also check out the old man cam or something else good for torque.

 

Also does this cam pull good from 3500 to 5500. and nelson should be able to get me a tune for this cam right? plus i want the 112 lobe so it sounds alittle nicer.

 

keep in mind you would want something that pulls good form say 3000 and up... If you are getting a stall, then find out where that stall flashes and match your cam to that.. if you get a 2600 stall, figure it may stall 3000 really in a heavy truck, so pick a cam that makes power from 3000-6000.. they make cams for stock stalls also that pull from 1800+ im probably gonna just cam mine and not worry about the stall

 

pm me your email and Ill send you some sound clips
