ok guys im trying to make a choice on which cam so tell me which do yall think would be the best for my truck. im looking at the 228/228 .588/.588 112 and the 224/224 .581/.581 112 both from texas-speed, which you probably already know. my truck is a 2004 5.3 rcsb and so far all i got is a pcm, electric fans, cold air intake, corvette servo, i got a 3:42 gear with G80! and i just bought a yank 3200 stall which i havn't installed yet so with the stall which cam would work the best and im also getting heads in the future!

 

I am sure if you contacted Texas-Speed they could tell you the best cam for your parts combination.

 

yea your right, thanks anyway

 

the 224 would match alot better than the 228..

 

if you dont mind going with 4.10's I see no reason why not try the 228. 224/224 is a known good combo with the 3000-3200 convo. Maybe try to go a little bigger and get a hair more out of it.

 

how bout you get yourself set of headers and a good free flowing exaust before even thinking about a cam.
oh btw out of the two go with the 224.

 

I am with the cajun on this one, I would think about a set of full length headers first. The 224 cam will work better with a 3k stall, not saying the 228 won't,224 will be in its power range a lil better then a 228 for the street... This just my op, to each his own..

ALL supporting bolt ons, then the 224 cam... driveable but will still make DAMN good power.

 

224 would be good. I thought about going 228 but not sure about P to V clearance, also tuning would be a bitch on that big of a cam. Plus would be a dog down low to drive daily. If I didn't drive my truck all the time I would do it but if your doing a DD or something you drive a lot then go with the 224

 

thanks for all the help guys, 224 it is then, and yea mine is a dd so i definetly need one thats works the best with a dd truck.
