I don't get it either. The TR220-112 is a beast in my 5.3L Tahoe with a 3K-3200 stall. I'm not sure why a 6.0L Tahoe wouldn't run fine with a slightly bigger cam like the TR224-112, all else equal.

 

tr224 is as big as you want to go and will work great with your stall. any bigger, it would be a dog. any smaller, you eventually will end up with a 224 so might as well make the expense one time and save in the long run. the 24 wheels really slow you down and affect mileage so power gains are limited. good luck with your project, rob.

 

Alright well i suppose im looking for a Tr-224 then..do i want -112 or -114? what is the difference in that?

would this be fine?
Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR 224-114" - 224/224 .563/.563 114 LSA 1700-6600 RPM

 

A 112 will give you a choppier idle than a 114. Lobe separation determines where peak tq is and how broad it is, thus a wider lobe separation will have a broader power band and build power throughout the RPMs, where a tighter lobe separation will build power quickly, but fall of more quickly too.

 

alright sweet..so looks like im wanting a 112 since i want a little chop to the idle..thanks for the help

 

Go with a 112 and have the advance it atleast 2 degrees, 4 if you can. that will help the power come in a little sooner.

 

im guessing you mean when I install it to advance it a bit? Ill have to do some reading up on all of that...my buddy and I will be doin it later this summer..never done one on a ls motor, only 350s and ****

 

What about something like a 222/224 on a 112 ? I'm fixing to swap my tr220 for a 224..but I only have a 5.3. I would run somthing around 222-226 duration

 

Actually he's talking about advance that's ground into the cam, this can be determined by comparing the ICL to the LSA...LSA-ICL=* of advance ground in (114 LSA - 110 ICL = 4* of advance ground in). ICL=Intake Center Line

 

good to know..thanks man..like i said..i have a lot of reading to do about cams...Im pretty mechanically inclined, but ive never torn into a newer ls motor...nor have i looked into cams and ****...Im reading all that I can to make sure I get what will make me happy the first time..I mean until i can scoop a tvs 1900 lol
