Lifted truck...Cam for future
Hey guys.
So in the future I want to try to get FI, I am thinking a maggy. I dont have the money right now for one and it's not going to be a definate thing.
I have an 05 sierra extended cab with 35's and stock 4.10's in the rear. Its a z71 and I do a little bit of offroading, and by offroading I mean I take it out in the desert 3 or 4 times a year and play around nothing too serious.
I want a cam that will give me more power and some good sound; And with FI in mind perhaps plan for the future.
I know a lot of you guys like the gt2-3 cam. Is this a good cam for my application? I want to keep FI in mind with the cam, even if it never happens....
What does changing the stall converter do and would I need to or should I?
I played around with the idea of going 6.0, and maybe bigger once my warranty runs out and I can tinker with it. But mainly I was thinking keep the 5.3, cam it and one day FI...
I have dynatech headers/cats and a magnaflow system after, trueflow intake, and a custom tune from a dyno; I am on the quest the never ending need for more power!
Thanks for the help.

"The search button is your friend." I am pretty familiar with the concept of searching and how forums work. I appreciate the tip, but was looking for more. I have already searched, and there isn't anything like this. With more lifted trucks it seems driving around these days, I know there has to be a few guys in the same boat. I pm'ed someone on here already and they said it would be a good thread to start.
Thanks for the rest of the help though. There is a lot of good info and suggestions.
Another question though, I dont think anyone touched on it. Why would someone mess with the stall converter and how does changing it in either direction help or hurt you?

IMO, even stock Chevy GenIII engines can benefit from higher stalled tq converters, as low end torque isn't their strong point, but they really seem to shine up top, especially when the intake and exhaust components are nicely matched
