Truckshop is the owner of those mods and made 419rwhp in a CC. he DD's that truck and he still gets good gas mileage. like i said its ALL in what the OP can stand as a DD. your going tk pay 350-400 for a cam why not just buy a spec'd one for the same price. but hey im not a cam expert/converter expert. i told you what i have/DD/and my opinions on it. take it with a grain of salt for all i care
good luck

 

I agree 100%. That seems like a nice truck. I have no doubt it runs well. And driveability is all relative.

He mentioned a V2 cam, so I said run it. You're not going to see me argue an off-the-self cam is better than a custom. I think a 230s cam is the way to go. If he had a torquer V2 laying around, or could get one cheap, I say run that B.

I don't get why people want to run such small cams in a 6.0. I understand the TR224 in your buddies' truck. And a smaller cam in a heavy truck, in general, makes sense. But a 4" bore, large intake/exhaust runners, and a decent sized cam is going to make power down low. Its not going to be a tow pig, but it wont have much problem getting off the line. Its a reg cab. 4wd isnt that much heavier than a 2wd.

 

zeroto60, reading your posts you base the way a truck is going to perform solely off duration @ .050. Their is so much more to how a combination works. I hope the OP omits your posts entirely.

iamkeniff, that's a stout combo above. That would make a great street truck.

An enjoyable street truck to me, is one that you don't have to spin to 4k+ to get moving. One that you don't have to drop a gear to pass. One that can pull a hill without dropping a gear. One that get fairly good mpg for the mods present. One that function well in a broad power band.

What was I thinking to get a 6.0 with a 218's cam?? I should have just stuck a cam in with 230's duration and a bunch of overlap. I wasted a 6.0 with a "4inch bore, large intake/exhaust runners" ....(sarcastic)

 

it is a stout truck and an awsome DD imo. its not bc its my "tuner's" truck, its BC its a proven cam an i know it would be a monster of a truck for being 4wd and a SCSB.
you wanna make the truck 1/4 mile fast?
run a 4200 stall and 4:56s, now get on the street and a truck that ETs higher than you but has more MPH will always spank you. i dunno why people think going big is better. i had a chance to go 234/242 .600.610 112+3 f that i didnt want to depend on a 3600-4200 to make my truck go. it takes 1800-2000 rpm to make my bus move good in traffic compared to the 3200 i had that took 1600-1800.
its all in what the OP calls a DD truck. i gave him a descent spec that will work well with a 3200-3400 but perform even better on a roll. plus he can run his 3:42s for as long as he wants and not kill his DD that bad. 4:10s and a 3400 in a SC...WOW

 

I deff like the sound of tht kind of dd i don’t wanna have to get into the stall to get moving would defeat the dd part in my opinion. Would like to stay my gear if possible but if its to bad i will swap. An i want it redlight/ highway fast not 1/4 or 1/8 fast

 

Lol, says the guy with check engine lights on. W/e guy, I could care less what you think. It's a shame you have to get sensitive, instead of just having a discussion. Guess we have another victim of the pussification of America.

I think you have a poor opinion on how his truck would run. Down shift going up a hill? Are you serious? Spin to 4k rpm? Wow. (not sarcastic, really just amazed)

And I think you should lose the chip on your shoulder about your cam choice. I have no idea why you'd run a baby cam in a 6.0. I do think its a waste. I honestly give a **** less what cam you run, or what you do with it. Im not basing how his truck will run b/c of a duration of a cam. If you would practice some reading comprehension, you'd see that. I'm basing it off what I'm going to be running, people who know what the **** they are talking about, and what I've read.

Op, go ahead and listen to this guy tell you to run a 218 cam. Then get ready to swap it a few months later. Ever wonder why you see so many 218 grind cams for sale?

 

Where's this check engine light you speak of? I've never had a check engine light on.

Keep posting your big knowledgeable posts, they are interesting reads

 

I like the sound o a low 230s cuz like mentioned i don't wanna put a cam in the b wishing i woulda whent with more if tht makes any sense. So what is the overall thoughts on the cam?

 

So would the tsp 224r b the best shelf package cam? Is a 3200-3600 stall to much for it?

 

the tsp224r and a 3200 would be nice
