Hows it going guys? i got 2006 silverado reg cab that im about to install my cam in. so far. what i have is.

GOING IN:
Comp Cam - 54-456-11 / @.050 219/227
Push Rods - 7955-16 / 7.4's
Dual Spring Kit - 26921-KIT
243 Heads
LS7 LIFTERS

I NEED:
Timing Chain
Gasket Kit

Might be forgeting a thing or two. Tell me what you guys think about the set up. might getta turbo later on.

The truck as it sits has a few mods.:

P&P throttle body
Headers - Full exhuast
HP Tune
4.10 Gears
Detroit trutrac
Performabuilt LVL2
YANK 3600
Cold Air Intake

 

I don't know much about deciphering cams and their parameters, but stock pushrods are 7.4". LS7 Lifters are slightly higher than stock lifters so that will adjust your pushrod length. Additionally, depending on the cam, your pushrod length might need to be adjusted too (I'm not sure if it will or will not need to be). Also, I don't know if you have had your heads milled at all, but that as well would affect the pushrod length.

Another thing that you might want to research is whether or not your cam is boost compatible since you may be adding a turbo eventually. Hope that helps. What were you going to get gaskets for?

 

sounds good to me so far. like mentioned above you might want to see if cam will be compatible with future turbo. turbos usually like lsa in the 114-116 range.

 

you should be able too reuse your old lifters.

 

ima check it out, i hear of people putting almost identical camshafts as mine with spray. lmfao

thnx, and i wil doo and yeha this one is only 112

i dont wanna use the old ones, i wanna replace them while its tore apart

 

You dont have to replace gaskets except the head gaskets, but like you said since it is tore apart go ahead.

What I replaced. head gaskets < you could spend the extra money and get cosmetic gaskets .04 to bump compression up. You will lose some compression with non milled 243s. Timing cover gaskets, front crank seal, intake manifold gaskets, water pump gaskets, and header gaskets. I found it cheaper to buy the gaskets individually rather than a kit.

You wont be able to swap the chain with out droping the oil pan and pulling the oil pump off. My truck had 150K when I did my swap the chain wasn't to bad. I put my ls2 cam sprocket on and it removed some slack.

Please please please get a comp-cam push rod checker. I didn't and have been battling lifter tapping. I just got it figured out the other day.

That's a good cam choice for N/A motor with your gears and stall

 

you will also need special little plastic ring tools to remove the fuel lines from the intake manifold.

 

got it all together all it needs is a tune Cammed 4.8 - YouTube
