Cam Swap suggestions
hey their just wanted to hear some suggestions. so i installed a cam not too long ago and i cant say im not happy because i am. felt a great improvement truck doest feel like it flys but its sure much quicker. after the install i started hearing how everyone has a bigger cam and mine is a baby cam. how everyone has a 6 liter and i have a 5.3 so here are my plans im currently looking for an lq9 but i would like to change my cam out for something that would be good on my 5.3 and would do the job on my 6.0.. any suggestions.. i was told to do something with a 590 lift and lsa of around 112 for torque. please comment.. thanks..

well i was told not to change stall that it was pointless with my low lift cam. so i kind of got dissapointed..lol and well im looking to have a fast truck just like everyone else. my eigth of a mile was a 7.65 and my 1/4 i havent tried. i want it to be under 14 but everyone also has to know that im much heavier then the 2wd models since i have a 4x4.. i have seen ppl with the tsp 224r cam and a 3000 stall have had great result thought that might be the way to go.. what do you recommend slow n low 4.8

I must have overlooked the converter (or lack thereof) do you have a converter right now? If not, thatd definatly be the first thing Id do. especially if youre thinking of a larger cam later. Youre going to need at least 3000 with a 224/224 in a 5.3, and itll be even better with the 6.0.
If youre going to stay with the "baby" cam you have now, a 2600-2800 would make a huge improvement

the 2500 is in rt now but im still not happy. may b do 4.10 gears? i only go thru first and second on the 1/4 mile may b i do need more gear. and if i do cam im doing 3000 stall for sure. will that make a noticable difference from the baby cam i have rt now?
