Default TR220 cam 5.3

I have decided on going with a TR220 112lsa cam with PAC 1218 springs and some 7.4 hardened pushrods, my question is i am short on money now so how would the stock converter be with this cam until i am able to get my Yank TT3200?

TIA

Just don't beat on it everyday, and you should be fine given that you don't have a ton of miles and wear on your current setup.

just a heads up. i just broke a PAC 1218 last weekend on my 5.3 with a TR220 112. only had been installed for about 75 miles. Mine was a bad batch/spring. That doesnt mean go and sell your PACs. Just givin you heads up.

Well i have not ordered them yet, so what other springs would you recommend? Hopefully this was a fluke deal.

Honestly Id prolly just continue with the PACs, Mine was just the luck of the draw. Either those or Double springs which you dont need that much spring for the TR220. So either PAC 1218s or Comp cam revised 25918..

I have 1218's...wish I went 1518s. SDPC didnt have them at the time. I would get the 1518s over double springs.
