TR Cam Recommendation
I got a cam recommendation back from thunder racing the other day for my 383 LS1 build-up. Here is the specs:
1999 Chevy Silverado Ext. Cab
383 LS1(4.000" Eagle Crank/6.125" Scat I-Beams/undecided on Pistons)
5.3 Patriot Performance Heads (Stage 2)
3.90 Gears/Eaton
2600 Yank Converter/Beefed-up 4L60-E
Full Bolt-ons
Dyno-Tune
They said to stay on the smaller side since I occasionally tow and being my daily driver. They said to go with a 224/228-110 on a XER lobe. I was kinda wanting to go a little bit bigger than that. What do you ya'll think?

Figured it was Geoff. However, RGV's doesn't sound like a Geoff pick. I don't know...
Here is another 383 dyno. Ported heads, custom 224/222-113 cam.
It's in a Vette.
Still, check out that torque curve and tell me if you didn't just cream your pants.
If your still using the Truck intake manifold, I betcha somethin like this would be a very good 'shot in the dark'.
-5500-5900 HP peak
-Strong torque curve

That torque curve is Crazy! I'm really starting to think about ordering that 224/228 cam. I'm not sure if I want it on a 110lsa though, seems there would be some drivability issues being in an automatic truck. Might go 112lsa. What do ya'll think?
