that cam will work great, you will need 918's for sure, you can find that cam alot on ls1tech in the parts for sale section for about 200-250 and springs from 80 to 120 good luck.

 

im using LPE yellow springs with .571 lift. They are the yellow z06 springs.

Im also voting for the 220/220 on a 112. Pm sport side and see what he can brew up for you.

 

Yes, manny will say you can't but the ls6 springs are good to at least .570 some say they're good to as high as .600. I know of at least 3 guys that ran a tr224 or similar with ls6 springs and they didn't have any problems. That's what I plan to run too.

 

i was just about to catch you in mods and your about to buy a cam.

 

you'll never catch me little buddy!!!! haha but you can always try

 

I will agree with V8, the 224 will go good in the truck...
just make sure you size the TC correctly, you wont get optimal performance out of it if you dont...
3,000 or higher will do..
that lift is really close to the lift I have on my cam.. I am riding at .561 lift..
most of the newer 224 cams I have been seeing lately are running a .581 lift
and as far as springs go..
I wouldnt chance it, even tho some guys are. what works for one doesnt necessarily mean it works for all.
go with some 918's or double springs..
also make sure you check the base circle of the cam to size your push rods right..

 

cool so you think the ls6 springs are a no go?

 

if i had an opportunity to try another off the shelf cam it would be tsp's 220 .581 or the 224 .581. sounds like your on the right track. 918's are a must and probably a 3k stall.

 

hell i can't make up my mind what i want... i've got the bigger is better thing stuck in my head... tell me more about the tsp's

 

LOL....
it all depends on what you really want..
make up your mind and go with it..

basically from what I can tell.
you either want the 220, or you want the 224...
both are really good cams, and have proven to run good in the LS1 based truck engines,,,
I say bite the bullit and get one...
but if you ask me I am partial to the 224

also as stated above with either of these 2 cams, a 3,000+ stalled TC will be required to reap the full benifits, other wise if you under stall, there will be a dead spot from off idle untill the RPM Power band of the cam
