I have had my cam in my truck for a little over a week now and what i dont understand is why the power doesnt feel any different. I know i wont get the full benefit of this cam till i get a converter and headers but im just kinda pissed i spent 1000 and theres no difference, still feels like my old tune. Justin is working on my random missfire codes that keep randomly coming up and my warm restarts. Any body have any input for this?

 

yeah, you need the tune and headers and tc. i did those mods before a cam

 

so im not going to notice ANYTHING even with a straightened out tune till i get those....

 

Stock Exhaust is a major restriction

 

Need a better exhaust system. and if it has a misfire your not getting the full potential from your combo. Get that straitened out and you'll feel the difference.

 

you run a 285/70/17 tire and stock gears with 220 cam that doesnt start pulling till 3500 on a stock stall ??

There was a much better cam suited for your needs..212/218
OR spend money on a stall n exhaust with gears

If you wanted to just put a cam in with no other upgrades a 212/218 would have been perfect...lowend power and doesnt require a stall or exhaust
When i ran the 212/218 on stock parts it did great and pulled really well all over VERY noticeable

I also ran TR220 but wasnt impressed with it because it needed gears and a 3600 stall..my 3000 and stock gears didnt like the 220

 

Phew, I'm glad I wasn't the only one who felt this way. What am are you running now? My truck feels slower from a dig than it did when it was stock, from a 30 roll is a different story.

 

I am running a LS6 cam and 243 heads
That setup has has no noticeable loss of bottomend with the pull of the tr220 on topend.
My tr220 was lazy under 3000 and power really didnt hit till 3500.
With my 3.42 gears and yank tt 3000 stall its actually faster E.T. and MPH than the 220 was

I have some info comparing the 220 to my ls6 cam both cams were run on 243 heads
Search my old posts but here is one https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...-tr220-490186/

 

Hmmmmmm, I notice someone mentioned the trucker cam, I wonder how well it would perform down low. Thats what I originally went with but tsp recommended the 220 so, ye.

 

I really like the trucker cam i put one in a buddys truck
Has great lowend and topend...I would definately run one
