TR220-112 and stock converter
anyone on here done this? I know all the reasons to get a 3k rpm stall, but just curious if anyone has done the tr220 with the stock converter. I'll be getting a converter later on btw.
the other cam I was looking at is the old man truck cam (214/220 .600/.523 115lsa +2)
what're your thoughts?

another quick question. Between the 220 cams I'm lookin at (TR vs. TSP) would the .030" bigger lift on the TSP cam be that beneficial? It's a less expensive cam too.

I have a 212/218 HiLift in my truck without a higher stalled converter. I do have 4.10s though. It is very fun on the street and still good with gas around town. I wouldnt hesitate to go to 220/220 in my truck either, without a stall.
On the other hand, I didn't see a whole lot of difference with the cam and 3.42s in the rear. It needed 4.10s to wake up.
I will probably be the only one to tell you that you don't need a stall though. Some of these guys exaggerate the loss of bottom end with a higher duration cam.

My part-time friend (05FAMILYTRUCK) had a 224 in his crew cab with stock stall and 3.23 and it was really slow anything below 30mph. He ran a 16 all motor lol. When he put the 4.10s in you could tell a nice difference...it would do a burnout again hahaa. He just added a 3600 converter thats more 3800 and it runs low 14s
So he dropped about 2 seconds going from cammed with stock stall and 3.23s to 4.10s/3800 stall.

The way I see it, the low end can't be worse than the stock cam. I really like the XR265HR comp cam, but I think I might go with the 220 cam instead. Thanks for the input I just needed someone to comfirm that I wasn't indeed crazy lol. I'll be getting a cam around my bday (feb) so it'll be some time. I'm anxious, but wanna do it right the first time and not regret doing somethin else.

Hey bluecajun what converter you running now? I remember looking at the specs on your truck a LONG time ago on this forum but can't remember the stall you're running. You're the reason why I looked into a TR cam in the first place lol. I've got the optional HD tranny cooler, but I'm afraid it won't be enough with a 3k stall. what yall think?

i'm running the yank SS3600 (9.5")
if you go with a yank TT3000 which is an 11" converter, you should be fine with the stock HD tranny cooler.
