i think mine has 3.73's in it but i'm not 100% sure... what about it would be "too much" for the 'hoe? seems like a fairly "mild" (by today's standards) cam for the LSX engines
|
You may find it sluggish down low, below 4k rpms. But, from 4k to 6k it will rip pretty good. You will not be going over 6300 rpm. The cam drops off about 6k. I probably wouldnt go much larger than the 224r, unless you just wanted the chop.
The weight of you ride will change the stall some. Have you changed injectors yet? With that cam and stock injectors I was hittin 105% duty cycle 5500 rpms. |
definitely food for thought... what cam would you suggest? i like the choppy idle, and definitely want the extra power from a cam swap- regardless of what it sounds like
the stall is being built for my truck, rather than an off the shelf unit, hence it is taking ~2 weeks from time of order to delivery... a little higher than 2600 is fine though, as long as it it better than the converter that is in there now which stalls to ~3800+/- and has no lockup function... i just need the overall driveability and reliability back... i dont mind buying injectors if i have to for it to be "right"... at the price point for the cam/springs/pushrods the guy is selling, i can afford to upgrade injectors too if i need to, but if i dont HAVE to, i won't... all of this being said, the truck is still a daily driver in theory and not a race truck so it wont really be beat on, but more-so something that sounds/looks good and puts down decent power and is fun to drive... |
the 224r would work well in your truck

i remember hearing it at the shop that day when you came by to check out the tahoe.... definitely a good sounding cam and seems to make good power... hopefully, the guy gets back to me soon
|
finally got the truck fixed and home!!! new, custom 2600 stall circle d stage 2 converter with upgraded clutches, new pump seal, new shift solenoids, and a fresh AC Delco filter and bg synthetic fluid installed along with some computer adjustments on the shift points/line pressures... damn it feels good to drive it again!!!

Driving to NC from NY and made it to Jersey. Seems like the fuel pump died on me. This bitch is about to become someone else's problem... Currently waiting outside of a chevy dealer in NJ for them to open.
|
Damn man, that sucks. Good luck

That sucks. If its like the fuel pump in my brothers suburban that fuel pump isnt cheap.
|
Thanks guys.
So, the dealer they towed me to is bankrupt and can't fix my truck since they can't get parts. Waiting on another truck to take me to another dealer. With my enlistment bonus hitting my account last night and all the problems I've had with this thing I might just trade it in. I'll be damned if I'm spending much more on this a truck that treats me this bad... |
FYI, they only sell the fuel pump as the whole assembly and they are around $300-400 depending where you get it from. I've changed several and I just take the assembly apart and install a new $50 pump for a Mustang and problem solved for cheap......however I am sure that is not an option for you on the road. Sorry to hear your having another problem with the Tahoe, that truck has been a PITA to you......

Trade that bish in for a Vette at the dealership :D
|

|
