I am currently running the tsp 224r and is a 224-224 dur cam on a 112lsa. I am still on a stock tune and verter, can damn near get away without 2 footing it all the time. So after a tune and verter I think I should have went bigger. Oh and I am running a 6.0 with a mild job on them. Alot of the guys are running tr220s with great streetability and scream at the track.

Hey mangled... have you had your truck to the track with your current setup? If so, what was your best time with that setup? My brother has almost the identical setup but with a 114lsa 224/224 cam in a 6.0l with bolt ons and he is wondering what to expect from it.

Na not any yet, due to the fact that the trans will explode, on a stock tune now, will cause it to run way lean with my stock injectors, it is know where near where it will once I have things straightn'd out. Just by my butt meter, from the few times I have got into it, it feels like a low 14 sec now. Hope to be mid to high 12's when its squared away.

Well the truck feels good, but i think i could go a little more radical on the cam and still not have a prob driving this everyday. i plan on keeping my stock intake mani for now, and im keeping the stock 317's on there. whats another good cam for my setup? Anyone tried the 228R from TSP? Ive searched but others have headwork wich changes things
Hey MGMC...Your cam is the Vinci Trucker cam right? Don't you like it? I was told it was a dam good cam.
