Hey everyone, I was possibly considering getting a cam in my truck. I wasnt originally planning on it, but the go fast bug keeps getting me. I did a little bit of searching but I wanted to get some opinions and some clear direction on what to do with the truck. I would appreciate the help. Thanks

My truck is a 2007 Vortec Max L76 Silverado that is an Extra Cab shorty short bed that is 4x4 and I am running 285/70/17 tires (33") with a 3.73 gear. Right now the truck has AR headers, Y pipe and small cats, volant intake and custom tune. I just ordered a Yank Pro Truck 3200 stall for the truck also. The one thing I know for a fact I dont want to do to the truck is change the gears out. I know a 4.56 would be best for it... but for right now, that is not going to happen.

Currently the truck runs a 15.1 @ 91.5 mph with a 2.35 sixty foot. That is running the truck in 4 high and with the KM2 33" mud tires as well.

I am hoping with the converter I will be able to pull 1.9-2.0 sixty foots and get down to maybe a 14.30-14.40. I am considering getting a cam, because I think it would be awesome to be able to run a 13 second ET in my little 4x4.

So, where do I go from here? I read that it will be best to run a 3 bolt cam correct? For more choices right? Also, I need something that wont kill my torque, especially because of my gearing... So more torque down low and more power up top! doesn't everyone want that?

Sound is also important, but not near as important as how fast the truck actually is. I would love the cam to have a nice lope to it, but I want it to be the most efficient and fastest first of all.

So what cam would y'all recommend? And what all needs to be bought and/or replaced with my motor? It only has 18k miles. Dont I need new lifters because 4 of them have that variable valve timing and DOD crap? push rods? Valve springs?

And finally, if you have some good links to NNBS 6.0 L76 cam swap threads, please send them my way!

Thanks

Like I said I did search. Because I know people bitch.

Being that this forum is more of the lowered crowd, I couldn't find much on people with 33" tires and 3.73 gears, and I know that plays into the equation of what my truck needs cam wise. So thats why I asked. I don't want to get 4.56's so I need a cam that will help it pull hard down low as well as up top. And still give me an advantage over stock. Will those two cams help in my lack of torque multiplication? thanks

Those cams are a bit big for what you're looking for, and will require more converter than you just ordered. I think that something with around 220/22x would fit your converter choice, but 216/22x would be more suited to your final gear ratio, just my .02
