Another cam/stall question...
Hello I have a daily driven 2001 RCSB Silverado 137k miles 5.3/4l60 current mods are as follows;
1 3/4 longtubes-no cats, egr/AIR pump delete Fast 102 with 102 tb cai borla catback Wheatley tuned auburn posi 3.73s I know it is not relevant but caltracs and hotchkis sway bars. Gran Turismo brembo rotors and pads all around. I have an 02 Ls1 out of a vette with 22k miles that i will drop in my truck soon enough. I will use the bolt-ons I have on my 5.3 with the ls1. My question is what is a well rounded cam for the Ls1 that will not be too much of a dog down low dont mind losing some low end but i dont want a cam that starts making power too high in the rpms. I have read the TR220 and TR224 are solid proven cams. wondering if i can go a bigger (228 duration as an example) keeping good street manners. I dont care how the cam sounds, not going to choose cam on sound. As far as a stall i was thinking an FTI 3600 because my buddy has a ls2 gto with one and it drives good for my taste. dont know if thats too big of a stall for 22x duration cam I also have 243 heads that i would like to use instead of the 241s. I will pnp either set of heads which ever one is better for the suggested cams. Thank you.... |
If you are gonna run a ton of converter then why stress over low end tq?
|
The converter will take up what the cam loses down low and with a 3600 stall I would do a tsp 224/228. Should do good in that truck of yours
|
EPS 222/226 has made great power in ls1.LS1tech has some good dyno charts on them! Very stout for a smaller cam
|
Thanks for the answers gentlemen,
The reason I am stressing over low end because I don't know if that is too big of a converter for a truck, I was trying to go big on the converter because I always read "I wish I would have gone bigger. So just get a big right off the bat. I will consider those cams gentlemen. Anyone else? |
I agree with the 224/228 cam. That would be a well rounded cam for what you're looking for. What diameter converter are you looking at?
Good to see another Vegas member on here! |
Haven't looked into diameter yet. The smaller the tighter it is correct?
How are the tsp 224/228 street manners? |
Opposite. The smaller, the looser.
|
Oh ok. Learning has just occurred. Lol..
|
There are a lot of people that run a 3600 stall and dd their trucks with it. I have a tr224 in my 5.3 with a 3000 stall converter, and I wish I would have gone with a looser stall, but already had this one for my z71. I would run at least a 3600 stall. If you're not worried about manners, go with a higher one.
|
If you havent ever driven a stalled car/truck, I would see if any of your friends you have stalled cars/trucks, I would try and go for a ride, or even get them to let you have a test drive to see what it feels like.
|
I have driven my buddies fti 3600 ls2 gto. i like the way it drives. would the tsp 224/228 cam be good with the 3600 and along with my mods?
|
A car with a 3600 is a night and day difference compared to a truck with a 3600.
Go 10.5" billet converter if you are going to do anything 3400+. also IF you tow anything get a triple disc, yes it is COSTLY but id rather have the triple disc when pulling anything vs a single disc that will end up frying. |
Ok, I will reconsider the stall. I see your running stock converter. What are you going to upgrade to if you do?
|
I ran a 360) with a 222/226 111lsa EPs cam and lived it on my 5.3 I would strongly recommend that For U.. now I'm on a 4k and 227/232 cam.. don't worry about torque ull have it as long as Ur on a converter
