Regular cab

 

If you didn't want to go over a 3200 converter then it would still be fine since you have a Reg cab, especially if you swap the gears to 4.10's.

A 3600 converter would be optimal though I agree with the other guy, but not everyone likes to go that high. Don't forget though different companies do make tamer converters than others so don't be afraid to go one step higher on the converter if you want to.

 

A 110 LSA will have a broader power band than a 114 LSA..

 

Not so, the tighter the LSA, all other things being equal, will bring the power on sooner and have higher peak numbers than the wider LSA, while the wider LSA will have a longer, flatter torque curve.

 

By tighter, u mean smaller number on the lsa?? Also any other cam that will work great with that size of verter.... Open to suggestionss

 

Yessir, by tighter I mean smaller number, ie: 112 is tighter than a 114...

My opinion, (take this with a grain of salt as I'm no guru by any means), for a 4.8 DD, with good power and driveability, I'd go with either a Comp 212/218 low lift and 3k Cirlcle-D 278mm, or maybe something like the Vinci Trucker (216/224 .551/.551 115), with either the 3k or 3200 verter.

A 220 is a little wild in a 4.8 IMO, but is doable for a DD with the right tuning and converter, but there are guys on this board who have run wilder cams than that in their 4.8's and DD'd them, but "driveability" is different for everybody. As mentioned, I'd probably do a 3400-3600 converter and 4.10's if you decided to go with a 220/220.

(Personally, I'd like to slap a 220 cam in my 5.3 and 4.10's with my current converter, but the lack of funds won't allow it )

 

So a 110 would bring the power in earlier?? If so, id do that.. with a 3200 verter, and a good tune.. and hope it does well.. haha.. hows that sound

 

The tighter the LSA, the more overlap you will have, and more exhaust reversion into the intake also. Also, as you tighten up the LSA, you get that "lope" that many folks love...it's also harder to tune than say a 112 or 114 LSA, but a good tuning guru can get it right.

If it were me, I'd do something on either a 112 or 114 for ease of tuning and better street manners, but also add 4* of advance ground into the cam which will help bring the power in sooner and not affect the idle and driveability characteristics like a tighter LSA will. By adding 4* of advance, the ICL would be 108* on a 112, or 110* on a 114. (ICL= Intake Center Line)

I like the 3200 converter idea also...mine is about a 3k and I wouldn't mind it flashing a little higher. If I could get more cubes (say...the LQ9 short block that's been sitting in my dad's shop for over 6 years) with more power in front of it I bet it would flash to 3200ish

 

Billy this is based on the 4L60E?

< Has the 110Lsa on the LS2/L92 and it's nasty.

And I need to get those Patriot 60cc heads cleaned up... dual springs and 740 cromolys already loaded.

 

4.56 gears minimum, 4.88's preferably and 3600ss yank converter.

A true daily driver would probably be best with tr220 112 108 cam. A 220 110 106 with XER lobes will make a little more power and torque, with a lower powerband.

If you really want max effort cam, 220 224 106 106 but its gonna have a very rough idle
