Default TR224 + LT or Stall?

On a 6.0 which will give better gains, a cam plus longtubes OR cam plus a yank tt3000 stall? This modding is like a sick obsession....I said I would stop after the 6.0 swap

Haha it never ends! I say all three!
I would do the stall and long tubes first. you will see a good gain, then when you later can put a cam in you will have even larger gains than you could have with just one of the mods

problem I have with LTs it doesn't give great gains. I could see as little as 10rwhp. Seems like a cam would give more bang for the buck.

With a cammed 6.0 you will see alot more than 10hp! and if you do a cam without the longtubes, your gains wont be as good.
now you have this cammed beast, that takes too long to get into its powerband, that is where the stall comes in

you need all three for sure but if i was on a budget one part or two at a time i'd get the cam/lt's then the stall myself.
Also a 3k stall isn't big enough really for a 224 cam.
Only reason i would get the lt's first is at least you will unleash the power from the cam this way instead of holding it back the entire powerband.
Also your gas mileage won't drop as much with the cam/lt's so you won't use as much gas thus saving money for the stall shouldn't take as much time lol.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards LT/cam myself. With the TR224 I shouldn't lose anything down low so it should be the same as it is now. I should gain above 3000 though.
