Best Cam for TEA Trickflow heads? I've seen the thread that discusses the 3 cams you can buy as a package with these heads.
https://ls1tech.com/forums/showthrea...ick+flow+heads
Here is TEA's recommended cam: TFS Stg 2 cam is a 220/224 .575/.575 112+4
I know there are a ton of tech guys on here and wanted to know if you guys
had any thoughts on a better cam for these heads. I'm running a stock
bottom end with an LS6 intake and kooks 1-7/8" headers. I also have the 3.42 gears.
I'm wanting all low end power. Something crisp and responsive from idle or
1500 up to 5500 rpm. Thats where I will drive it and thats where i want to
feel the power.
Head flow numbers 215 runners
I E
0.2 138 118
0.3 218 187
0.4 272 231
0.5 308 252
0.55 318 258
0.6 324 262

Keeping with the 232/240 split of a standard G5X2, but doing the intake on an LSK lobe, which makes it something like .646/.609, although I might stick to stock X2 specs on a 112 +2.

I have those heads, and I use a Crane 228/232 @112+5 cam. My numbers are below, but what they don't say is how hard it pulls from idle up. I have plenty of low-end, and these heads are capable of huge flow, so if you limit your fun to 5500 rpms, maybe you could save yourself some $$ and get small port heads, such as the TSP 200cc ones.
5500rpm ? I hit the rev limiter with my stock cam 6200
about your cam selection I understand what your saying 1500- 5500, your driving range , but dont be afraid of pulling to a little higher rpm.

If your wanting all low end power, trade the 1 7/8 for 1 3/4....You need more cubes to benefit from the 1 7/8...I have the same headers...had them first on stock motor with 230/236 591/601 with be hive springs and some mods...lost my bottom end..just my 2 cents....
