If I had it to do all over again I would have gone with a larger cam. I think I will have to upgrade my cam if I get a good set of heads.

I am from Fayetteville and come up to WS/GB area quite often to see my wifes parents. I am leaning toward the 224 cam. Do you know anyone that has one in an A4 SS or Vette? I have a Yank 2800 stall. Is that enought converter for the cam? I am spraying a 100 shot through a TNT F1 system, will the cam work well with that? Thanks

I don't think I would like a "loose" converter. If I went any bigger I would probably go with a 3500 stall. As far as the 100 shot I can't help you there. I want N20 but don't have the funds available yet.

How in the hell did you get that torque curve with a 2800? Man that is nasty freakish. Here is my dyno with the mods in my sig minus the LS6 intake and N20

Jeff Creech at Carolina Automasters. He is an excellent LS1 tuner and people come from three states away to get tuned there. I am running mid 12s at over 112mph with 2.1-2.2 60ft so the car is fast, just need to practice driving and put the DRs on

If I can get up in the 360-380 range and hit this things with a TNT 100 shot it should be oh ****, hold on time

I have to agree.
355-360 tops if you have a good tune.
I would suggest you keep you money and have LS1edit done on a dyno instead of sending you computer off for the tune.
These companies are good but cant compete with a person reading and retuning for every extra HP.
A converter will be your best friend.
Although I dont think it is a must, but it is a almost MUST.
I would suggest a 3500 stall with that cam and would suggest you do the verter first.
You will be faster with a verter and stock cam then you will with a cam and stock converter.

thanks for all the help guys. After the cam, the converter will come very soon and then possibly cut out. But i think bfore all that I will have to get some drag radials.
