bigest streetable cam
Well I have a similar question, my car is a street car. See's the track 2-3 times a year, other than that its a weekend fun car. I don't care about DD or streetability but its not a track car either. I'm looking for a cam that comes in around 3k will pull to 6500+ if need be. Mods would be Cam, LS6 intake, BRP Headers, full exhaust with x-over, and supporting mods. Has a TH-350 and 3.73's with a 3k stall. I would like to try and make around 400whp.
Any suggestions would be good. Not looking for a custom cam for now. This is my first LS build would like something I can just buy.

Why such a small converter?
I don't want to buy a new converter. The swap is costing way more than I anticipated. I found a 3k for $150 shipped so i'm going to build around that. Its tough finding a th350 4k stall.
Blah.... Have fun with that. NOT!!!
Please stay away from TCI. Even if you have to wait an extra month to save up the little bit extra for a base PTC converter, I PROMISE you will thank me.
It will be the difference between hating or loving your car.

I havn't been hearing good things, but for the price i figured what the hell. PTC prices look good. I'm going to shoot them an email. If i got a bigger stall would you suggest a bigger cam? Or was the cam suggestion bc of the stall?

Question is biggest streetable, not opinions on what matches his setup..
I'm a 248/252 .649/.646 112+4 and i daily drive the car with a py3600 that stalls up to 5k when i lay into it...
I could go bigger and still not have an issue...
It's all in how you tune it.
If your tuners can't get the job done, then get a different tuners...
Most people who own tuning software, are not tuners... They are just dudes who can help you change your tune to a new file.

228R is just an all around good cam.. Reason for that and not something larger? The small converter size. If you move up to a 3600 or 4000 I would consider going to something similar to 232/234 .601 112
That should make decent power lower in the band but easily make power past 6500 if the setup will allow it.
Have you done any porting to the heads? Plan on it?
Haven't heard from them in a while either.
TCI is crap. The only reason people throw their name around is because they sponsor Powerblock on Spike. OP is you are running a cam that size why not an EPS 222/226? It will make more power everywhere over the 228r and exhibit similar driveability. With LSs a 3K stall is too small even on a stock motor. I say 4K minimum on NA apps. A good lockup converter with a decent STR and the right gearing will drive fine.

I wouldnt say TCI is crap, but they dont keep up with many of the other aftermarket converters out there these days
the TCI converters just feel "Soft" compared to FTC/Yank/Circle-D
However, TCI does make a good transmission...
that is something they have done correctly...built well and hold up to a lot of abuse...
I dont know how they got the trans right and missed the mark on the converters..
and TCI is a part of the Comp Performance group...so its not just TCI sponsoring the powerblock.. its Comp Performance group doing it
you might also notice all the other "comp" items they use in every setup they do.
PTC is the ****, period. Reasonable prices with amazing converters.
