natalie Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 (edited) Cam choice for my Bronco LSX swap, I would be utilizing for off-road,sand dunes, and street driven. I want the best cam choice for my set up. Please provide cam specs, stall, gears etc. that would suit me the best for my purposes. I did have a 224/224 on my SS clone which worked perfect for that application, not sure if that cam will do for a 4X4 on 35's. Vehicle: 1995 Bronco Motor: 6.0 LQ9 Transmission: 4l80e Transfer Case : NP205 Gears: 4:10? Stall: ? Cam: ? Tires: 35's Any help is appreciated thanks, Edited December 28, 2016 by oskar (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dieseltech320 Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 I did a build for a friend of mine with a 05 crew cab Silverado 5.3 liter and went with comp 212 218 114lsa cam. 4.88 gears and a circle d 3000 stall with 35" tires. cam was a great choice for a 4x4 with large tires. provides great low end torque needed for that type of application. Should respond with even more torque in a 6.0 given that the 6.0 has more torque than the 5.3 from the get go. I would be careful about going too big, that is a mistake many people make, and in your case I see you have swapped an 80 trans. That thing is a turd off the line adding to your large tires even more, you need low end torque to get the truck moving, not a cam made for high rpm which is what many people do when choosing their cams they want to pick based on the fact of the large duration numbers and say " oooo that's a big cam gonna create big power" then they put it in and its a turd off the line cuz its made to be spinning at high rpm to produce power, like in a sports car that's quickly going through gears. Choose the cam based on your application! Im no cam expert by no means but im not cam retarded either. just providing an opinion and a experience with that cam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EXGM Posted January 1, 2017 Report Share Posted January 1, 2017 (edited) Not to be ugly but you might want to go to a place like the LS forum. This place is super slow and the fact your asking a 4x4 question on a sport truck forum..... just sayn'....
