I'm thinking of buying Cammin Beast's cam, 218/222 .567/.574 113 +3, with 918's and 7.40 hardened pushrods(all new). What kind a power increase am I looking at. Would this be alright for a daily driver? Or what about a 224/224 .581/.581, with Comp 978 dual springs (all used)?
About $250 difference in price between the two.
I'll probably have to get a stall right, is a Yank 3000 ok?, maybe a shift kit and a servo.
And would either of these be alright with a Radix, gonna get one next summer.

Thanks in advance,
Caylon

 

What size engine are we talkin' here? RC,EC? What's the LSA on the 224 cam?

 

My truck is an '04 EC vho(6.0). I think the LSA on the 224 cam is 112.

Those cams are fine, but if you're going to be running boost, I recommend keeping the LSA around 114+. The lift numbers are kinda high for stock LQ4 heads, but I understand that's only what's out there .

I would go with the 218/222 because of the LSA and I think the 224's lift is a little too much. Plus I'm not to fond of buying used valvetrain parts...unless you really know where they've been. JMO.

Oh yeah, there are other cams out there....just do a search and see what most 6.0 guys are using.

 

I gained 30 HP from the 224. proven at MTI
you can get that cam in either a 112 LSa or a 114LSA

 

There ya go. Isn't the TR 224 like around .560-ish lift. That's a lot better for your heads than the 224 cam specs you posted. I know Lunati's is .560" but it only comes in a 112LSA. Get the 114 TR224, that would be good for a daily driver for sure.

 

I'll look for a TR224 with a lsa of 114. Would the 218 from my first post be good for a daily driver? I mean with all that's included the price isn't bad-$500 or is it?

Thanks,
Caylon

 

the 224 cam will work great. just put springs on it. and yay if you are goiing to go boost those cams i dont think will help much. you can go to and a little above 600 with these heads with no problem. i would think more about the boost situation before throwing in a cam.

 

make sure you get rods to.
7.4 comps.



and yes vanilla it was on a .561 lift.
