I have the 6.0 lq9 in my escalade Ext. I have my eyes set on the tsp 224/230 112 cam might have to get a 114 because my future plan is to procharger my truck and i heard 112 will leak boost but i heard this cam on a Tbss and feel in love with it because of the sound and lope it had a nice modern growl rather than that ruff raspy flow master hollow pop corn in a can (obnoxious to me) sound almost all cammed trucks have on youtube. I also heard the gt-2 cam it sounded nice but not any lope. But basically im looking for a nice but not big cam that gives good hp mild street cam that cam go with a procharger. I have a luxury truck so i dont want it to sound like it has no mufflers.

Sure go for it. To me who cares if the 112 "leaks" boost compared to the 114lsa, I'd be more than willing to lose just a minor amount of power if any to have the sound. It will still make power regardless.

You need a stall converter though with that cam.

yea im getting a 3200 circle d. With tbss intake, 1 7/8 lth, volant cai with ram air scoop, full exhaust 2 magnaflow bullets 3" piping xpipe tune and cam. Do you know how much hp im looking at my engine is 345 stock.

The cam would be OK with a procharger, sure. The 114LSA will still sound good, but don't shy away from the 112 just for fear of lost boost. It won't necessarily hurt power.

No idea what you'd be at with crank HP.

Figure with drivetrain loss you are only making 300 to the tire if you are lucky. If you gained 80-90hp to the tire with your setup it would be pretty fun.

ok cause i really like the 112 and i think it make a pinch of more hp than 114. With you guys trucks tuned and cammed how fast is yall trucks going im sure yalls governors are removed. My damn truck only go 112 mph till the governor start cutting my gas.

ok so about 500 fly 400 wheel. Cool

Maybe, I'm just guessing at numbers. Toss it on the dyno to see before and after gains. But seeing 500 flywheel horsepower is a bit inflated, you won't be seeing 100hp drivetrain loss. Think around 430-450 crank.

One more thing, don't forget about a built driveshaft too. Stock driveshafts will explode at speeds above 100mph because they aren't rated for speeds above that.

this why i say 500 fly.
Engine 345
Cai w/Ram air scoop 10-15
Exhuast 8 - 12
Long tube headers 15-20
Tbss intake 15-20
Cam 45-50
tune 25-30

Take the very bottom end of those numbers and it seems more accurate, so 448.

The intake tube is 5hp at best, really more for sound. The long tubes with exhaust at 20-25hp sound good and the intake alone won't gain you 20hp. The cam/tune sounds pretty close for numbers.

Again you could take it to the dyno and get real figures. 500hp crank hp to me just isn't going to happen at all, there is no way those mods are aggressive enough to reach that.
