Choosing the right cam
Ok so I have done a lot of reading the last few days on a cam. The tech at my shop is going to install one super cheap for me. Going to go ahead and get it done soon.
If Im going to cam this truck I want everyone to know it has a cam if you know what I mean. I want a lot of lobe and power. Still want it to be a decent daily driver too.
Im going to have my tune that Im sure will have to be retuned after the install, full exhaust, shift kit and vette servos and cai.
Do I really need a stall with a cam thats as big as I want to go? Im going for a nice looking somewhat fast truck here.
Its a 5.3 2003 Sierra. What do you guys reccomend?

Im asking for my application though. I dont want to spend a ton and not get what I want.
So I want to install a tr224. Will that be a good cam for power across the rpms and sound?
