Default In a Toss Up! Help me pick...

As soon as I get my 243 heads back from the machine shop I can finish putting my 6.0 (lq4) together and put it in the truck but I'm stuck on which cam I want to use. I've narrowed it down to 3 different cams but I'm having a hard time deciding so I'm gonna ask you experienced guys for your opinions so lemme hear them!

Here's the 3 cams I'm stuck on:

1) Comp Ls-R 219/227 607/614 112 lsa (my current cam) I know it's mild for a 6.0 but I think it'd be pretty peppy

2) Comp 224/230 581/592 110 lsa

3) TSP Torquer v2 232/234 595/598 112 lsa

Keep in mind Im on a 3200 stall converter and dont wanna change it. Also running a 3.73 rear gear and 150 wet shot.

I'd say 224/230... the stall will work better with it and the NX will love the bigger split.

is your LQ4 going to be stock displacement? what all are you having done to the 243's? what does your converter flash to behind the 4.8? the higher lift of the LS-R and the torquer v2 will work well with ported heads, and IMO a 3200 stall will be ok with the tourqer in a 6.0


my first choice is #1
second choice is #3

Stock displacement lq4 and the 243 are stock other than a good valve job, surface and patriot gold springs

My converter flashes at 3000

i vote #1... as i said adove, the lift will take advantage of the 243's not to mention the nitrous will love the split in duration
