Idk what it is but this think leaves like ****, maybe the cam is too big or its the 80e first gear? From a dig it sucks. Then it picks up big time after like 30mph or so. I dunno, cam is a 230/238 .609/.598 on a 112lsa. Might swap it out for something smaller cause this damn truck won't ever sell haha

Anyways Here's a few pics with my turbo single cab

That cam needs at least a 3000-3200 converter to leave well.

It has a ptc 3200 stall lol. Can footbrake it up to around 3kish. Anything more it just does sick burnouts. But at 3k it leaves like **** lol.

Yea with the 80e first gear youre gonna need at least a 3600 converter. I would guess at 30 MPH youre getting close to the 4k range which is when that cam would really sign on.

Well that's disappointing. I think it's much easier for me to change the cam than the converter though. 80e is cool for reliability but god damn it leaves from a dig like ****.
