im building my 2000 single cab silverado right now at my work. we are shaving it and bagging and body dropping it.

but i want to put a nmice lopey cam in it and long tubes and true duals most likely...anyone know wut cam springs etc to get? i can get comp and crane cheap if anyone has a part number or something
also what kinda power could i get from this and waht all needs done? the motor and tranny have like 7k miles on em and tranny is beefed up some but im sure will need a stall. also rear end is brand new.

its the 5.3 auto

 

i just found the cam thread so i think il want the 222/224 .566/.568 112 OK comp cam high rpm cam...but wut else will i need and how hard is it to do on the truck? any idea on power increase

 

your on the right track get the air in and out quicker, You will need a higher stall for a big cam and might as well do a shift kit, intake and youll need computer tuning also

 

with that cam..long tubes with true duals if theyll fit under teh truck how much hp am i looking at? is there is a stock head that will make more power than mine? i dont wanna spend a ton

 

6L heads flow better but will drop your compression ratio I beleive. You could get 50-60hp with good tuning. Im doing a 6L swap heads cam and lt headers and I am expecting around 80-90hp. Pacesetter lt's are suppose to be good for about 20hp by themselves and usually depending on how big you go you can get about 30ish hp from the cam. Nelson gets high 20hp from his tune alone.

 

so the 6l heads would be good for FI applications but wouldnt be very good for a N20 application. Was thinking of checkin on putting some 6l heads on.

 

A nice cam and supporting bolt ons I would shoot for 320-350 rwhp

 

Well The Cam You Are Looking At You Will Need A Tq Converter In A 5.3
AND TO GET 320 TO 350 HP YOU NEED TO DO MORE THAN CAM AND EXHAUST
I HAVE EVERY BOLT ON POSSIBLE AND I ANT AT 350 HP YET

 

Your running a truck in the 12's and you have less than 350 at the wheels

 

He is completely stripped down to under 4k lbs. to do so.
