What size torque converter do you have? I assume this is for the car in your sig.

If you're interested I have a tsp 233/239 with only 200 miles on it. Only reason I want to sell is due to ptv clearance w new heads. Stock heads are fine. Lmk if interested.

I know some guys are making pretty good power with the stock LS7 and LS9 cams on stock without having to spend 400 on a custom grind. But I don't know about 400.

IIRC LS7 and LS9 cams will not fit Gen 1 LS1.

GMtechmatt

there is a 2800 in it now

I'd jump up to a 4,000 stall first, before you go with a bigger cam.

How much are you asking for the cam? Whats the lsa on it?

Converter is way to small IMO. I would also get a 4000. A 228/232 is a freakin awesome daily driver cam.

OP, we can get you set up with a camshaft that will match that converter. Are you looking to keep that converter, or are you interested in going with a higher stall speed? Did you already have a camshaft in mind?

What? Why 4000? You don't even know anything about the car? Why would you spec that high of a stall speed lmao

OP, TSP is good ****. Call them up and they will solve all your problems

Big fan of tsp, they have always been great to me, and if i ever got stuck on a install or question they always helped me out ,

I have had cams from all 3 of those vendors. I think for your particular application with a very mild converter the TSP 228r or the vengeance VRX3 would be a good choice. I would not recommend Thunder Racing at this point. There customer service has gotten terrible. I ordered a cam from them at the end of last year and after 2 months of getting the run around I had to cancel my order. I ended up getting a cam from Vengeance.

Please let us not turn this into another TSP nut swinging thread.

My car made 391RWHP with 341 heads, and excellent street manners.

A 4,000 stall is not "that" big....if he is looking for a bigger cam, then it only makes sense to go with a higher stall first....unless he wants a car with a prayer cam that performs like a dog, will not want to idle, and push through the brakes....trust me I know what I am talking about.

tsp 228r. hands down. matches what you asked for.

228R here. If you go with something like the 228R you don't necessarily have to go with something stalled quite so high. You could do 3200. I went with Yanks 3600ss, but that's just me. ha

I'm with the others, the tsp228r is a good choice. I would get a 9.5" or 10" 3400rpm torque converter from one of the sponsors. CircleD, FTI, etc..

A 3200rpm would be okay if it was a smaller diameter such as a 9.5 or 10" converter. I'd try to get a 3400-3600 imo though.
