anyone tried the thunder racing 220 .553 lift 114lsa cam? was wonderin how it would work in a truck.

 

I have a 215/215 cam in my truck and think it's a little too big. That cam would be way to big in a 5.3 IMO.

 

I'll let you know how my 226-.635-112 cam does vs my current Z06 cam. Then we'll see what's too big and whats not

Everyone said Paul's 224/232 cam was too big for a 6.0L but turns out it aint.

Besides, if 5.7Ls can run 236 cams why would a 220 not work in a 5.3L?

 

your stickin a .635 lift cam in your Z71 or am i reading it wrong. holy crap, lol

 

Doh!

Not if I wanna keep all my valves in one piece! Hahaha

.535

 

I just got an email from a f-body guy, talking about his friends TR220'd 5.3 today. He said it's running fine on a stock tune, and he swears there is no loss in low-end. The guy pulls his sled trailer with it. I'd give more details, but it's at my work address...

I'm heavily leaning towards this cam in my 6.0. I'm looking to purchase something within the next 4 weeks. If you can wait til April for the install, I'll let you know how everything it turns out.

Smoke - What's the lift or lobes on that 215/215 you have? I hear the lower lift Comp grinds actually lose more lowend than the more agressive Comp grinds or similar TR's grinds.

 

if you happen to get any more info on the 220, please post back. would like to here some more thoughts about it.

 

if you have the ability to tune it the 220 cam will be sweet. there are several 5.3s around with much larger cams. and a couple on stock tunes and stock converters.

 

Sure thing, SportSide... I forgot to get it out on here yesterday - let me see if I can get it this weekend, if not probably Monday.

 

ok, appreciate it
