04 Tahoe after cam...
Hey guys, I just recently (two days ago) installed a new cam in my Tahoe with the 5.3
it was a 212/218 low lift and have not been able to retune it.. Anyways, a Honda accord got aggressive with me so I floored it and he did too. I got beat. I feel like I should have whooped on him but didnt even with the new cam. Is this my cue that I need a serious retune? Or do those Hondas just run hard as hell?
Btw, it has a CAI, that cam, and a cutout right before my blowmaster and a black bear 87 tune that I got BEFORE the cam swap.

Its easily driveable right now. No issues idling or otherwise. I noticed a HUGE difference in mid range. Just feels like it needs retuned for the power throughout the RPM range.
and I have the COMP 212/218 .522 .529 "low lift" version. Blue LS6 springs and hardened pushrods.
did it all myself in a day and a half.
anyone else have thoughts or opinions?

I tossed a vinci trucker in a silvy ss, which is a similar cam in a 6.0 as you have put in your 5.3 as far as a torque curve. It had no more power than stock before the tune. A tune will wake it up big time.
That being said, the newer v6 accord has some nut.

Needs a retune to set shift points higher and all that good stuff.
You shouldn't go WOT till you get it tuned. And might as well get the 91 tune for full power.

The V6 Accord is good for about 15.0 stock.
The '13 model 14.3 @ 98 mph...WTF!
