To put it in perspective:
Stock LQ9
1 7/8" headers no cats
4.10s
Yank PY3600
On very heavy Toyo 285/60/18s. 2.03 60'
That setup yielded a 13.73 1/4 mile. On some track wheels and tires and a better 60', it's probably a low to mid 13 sec run.
With a 212 cam, a crew/ec would be a high 12 second truck.

HotRod mag did a 6.0 test years ago, 210/218, 220ish cam, and a 230ish cam. The 210/218 had the most average power across the board easily. Only until 5k up did the bigger cams surpass the baby cam. Bottom line, comes down to where you want your power. But even them you still need the right converter with the bigger cam to put it in its powerband. I'm running the mid 220s eps cam. It's a good overall cam, give up a little down low and gain some up top. I'll probably switch it out for a smaller cam soon since I've got the turbo to take care of the top end.

A friend of mine had a old setup that contain
Stock lq4
Tr224
Intake I believe was tbss with 90mm
Prc heads
3400 converter
Made 409 but that was through a 60e
Considering I'm running 80e ill be mid 380s I'm guessing ?

Good combination. Stick with the 212/218 and you won't be disappointed. But 4.10 gears would be a lot more fun.
