by single pattern camshaft you mean like tha 222/222 .568/.568 112LSA or the one i described that matches intake to size and exhaust to size

i see that TR has a newer cam out not on the cam list thats not as agressive as the t rex but a bump up from the 224/227

it's a "Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft - 230/236 .590/.598 112 LSA 2400-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. 3200+ stall, 3.42+ gear, computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. " taken from TR's website no dyno graph yet dunno if anyone has feedback on it yet

Whoa. A 230/236 is a tad much for a 5.3 IMO!!!

i always been a lil bit crazy, 3200 stall wouldent be bad for me IMO, just concerned what all else i would need to get it to work good inj. wise and i assume i need an 02 pcm?

The C1 cam worked pretty well for being kinda small. hell back when Raughammer was running it, it was THE cam to have. LOL Then again his car was insanely fast for the mods done to it. Pepper Ruled!

If you go with that 230+ cam you better have more than a 3200stall to compliment it. I'd be looking at a 3800+. There is a reason most of the LS1 car guys run HUGE stalls with those really big cams. My best times came from a 223/.591/112 cam with a PT4400 stall in my T/A.

Im running a very similar LPE cam gt2-3 222/222 .561/.561 112lsa (not shure about overlap being similar this one has a good amount) Ive got a 3k stall and wish I had a little more 3200-3500 should be right on. Ive noticed you really feel the cam at 3000 and it starts screaming at 4500 to about 6200 where it dies, but that could be partial to the head work Ive done they arent ported wish I had saved and waited now
The cam is definately not an FI cam dont know if thats in your future. Ive noticed it really needs to breath in order to perform so you might want to reconsider if your not gonna do full exhaust and ported heads.
figuring from the numbers Im runnin at the track and truck weight of 5500 with me in it I should be around 350-370 at the wheels.
I think Leater is running a similar cam

Oh LPE sells thier cam for 250, dont know what your paying
Its definately noticable even though Ive had to tune alot of the lope out its unmistakable

hope this helps

good informatiuon guys all stuff that makes me think, my future more than likely with holds a 408 and a turbo completely diff motor i'd like to drop in a cam and run stock heads or any mild ported head and leave that motor like that and drop it in the s-10 when it's tired of pushing the fullsize, so i really need a cam taht will work good with stock rotating assembley, i know the bigger stall i get the better it will perform on any agressive cam but it's still the dd :p i dont have to have gobbs of power at idle but enought to scoot around town ya kno :p

3 words big *** staul

Id get at least a 3500 or over for that cam and Id expect shift points to be way up there on a 5.3 around 6600 I would say heads would need to be ported to take advantage of the upper end where all of it would be. Ive heard these heads dont flow well way up in rpms or should I say as well as some others.
