Old thread bump.. I have a stock 2000 ls1 cam from my dad's formula in my garage (1998 - 2000 Fbody 202/210 int/exh @ 0.05" duration 0.496" / 0.496" int/exh lift 116 LSA), which is an 11* intake and 20* exhaust bump in duration over my 5.3 stock, about .04 more lift aswell. My plans are only tuning and longtubes. I intend to keep a smooth idle and good mileage along with full towing capacity. Time spent (or "wasted") on install isn't a big concern. Mod for mod, could I expect 10 horsepower over the stock 5.3 cam? Compression and everything else is a factor, but ls1's have a nicer idle imo than the blub-blub of a truck.

Check my sig. I did the 98-99 spec. LS1 cam w/ a hair more dur. but at the same time did heads and injtrs, tuned & headers, It runs pretty good for a 5500lb daily driver, and good fuel mileage, A very streetable 13.9's on motor, no stall, the 410 gear made a huge diff.. It depends what you want to spend and how streetable you want it to be.. A good tune for it would make it run better than installing that cam..

or another local. The stock tune is horrid and pisses me off immensely. My setup will be extremely mild, lightish for a full size truck, and the truck only has 50K miles and doesn't appear to have been ragged on (old man truck). I'm thinking 100% tm delete would be safe on this one
