Default Hmmmmm

My mods r in my sig, and was wondering if I had too much cam. dont get me wrong, truck runs good. But I feel it should run better with all I have done. Should I change it up or what? I figured this cam would b good, especially with spray. But am I wrong?

I'd start out with getting a better tuner...and if it were me I'd go with less cam, maybe something in the 224-228 range would work better with your converter, just my .02

i just installed a 226/230 .585/.591 0n a 110+3 in my truck and it runs very well and i hit it with a 175 shot lastnight and it eat it up! your cam has a lot of duration for a 5.3 but most would say mine does to. have you ran it at the track?

You need a lot more converter for that cam in a 5.3.

Something around 4400 would probably be good with that cam.
