Default Cam for 6.0 SS silverado ?

going to be doing typical bolt ons and would like some advise on camshafts. I want something that will do well with the bolt ons and a tune. keeping the truck intake, so what cam? G5X-2? TR224? ETC. I looked at the cam thread but if anyone has some experience to share it would be appreciated! thanks

The 224 would be good along with a trailblazer stall that would mathc perfectly and keep daily driveablility.

I'm running the 224 with stock stall. And I like it a lot. Even with the stock stall it is still very driveable.

I have a custom cam that is VERY close to the 224. I like it a lot, but wish I would have gone 114lsa. Mine has a little more lift, and I am very happy with it.

Id really like a cam that kept my powerband EXACTLY where it is but bumped the entire thing up 20-25hp. I'm thinking of just getting rockers instead.

Good luck. Can't get something for nothing. I think a few people are running the 212/218, or 216/220 with the stock converter and happy with it. But even with my 206/212, my 60's slowed down.
