This truck is and will be a Daily Driver... But, with the future possibly ending with a Turbo, I was wondering what would be a good street friendly turbo cam? I will be running NA for a while but the cam will still perform correct? Also, what would be a street friendly converter, (3000-3200)? I think on the gears we've decided to go with 4.10s. Any other thoughts?

 

What engine and heads are you running?

 

4.8 and 243s

 

What is your goal?

How high do you want to spin it?

 

We don't really have a goal for this truck and I haven't thought much about how high to spin it.
My husband and I were just thinking about getting a Trick Turbo setup using a 76mm and see what the truck would do with that. I just want to have everything else on the truck ready to accept the kit and run to its full potential.

 

212/212 isky cam or something like a 21x/21x or a speed inc tu0 turbo cam.

 

Budget cam LS6 w a 72 or 74mm

 

Would the Speed Inc Cam be too much for a DD?

Foose04 made 730 with an 02 LS6 Cam and a 76mm, That's more than we need with this truck so it looks like this will be my cam of choice.

So with the LS6 Cam and 4.10 gears what would be the choice for a converter?

 

The turbo may like a little taller gears, 3:42, 3:23. I know many prior run turbos with tall gearing, helps load the turbo. But in a dd in not sure if the 4:10s would be better.
You should be fine with a 3-3200 converter.

 

Yeah I was reading that also but I doubt we'll be getting the Turbo anytime soon. So for now were gonna stick with the 4.10s I think.
