Cam will be based mostly on what size stall converter you want to run..

I had a SSS and ran a cutom 218/224 .571/.578 114lsa with a tt2600 and was happy...If I was doing it now I would go with a TR224 and a 3000 stall converter for a good balance of performance/driveability

What were your results with that setup? Any advance ground in?


All these cams seem real mild.... Most of your drive-a-bility will rely upon your tune and tuner. Paired with how big of a stall your running.

But I figured someone out there has got to be stuffing larger cam in a SSS.

I was looking into the TR224 for the LQ9, the numbers seem really good. Torque and HP throughout the RPM range and driveable.
