I was going to try a more aggressive cam, but I decide not to. I'm excited to see how the triple 12 does on a 5.3.

I'm definitely going to post result with the cam. I'll have it dyno tune a few weeks after everything is back together. And I also have a race or two that I'm going to set up with some fast cars.

Truck is back together. Had an issue with the pick up tube o ring. I was using an orange o ring. It would have pressure at idle for a lil bit, but slowly bled off. While giving it gas 2000/2500 rpms, oil pressure was fine. So I replaced the orange o ring with the red o ring. And problem solved. Oil pressure at idle with this new tsp ls6 oil pump is constant 50 psi. If I touch the throttle, 2000rpmsm oil pressure rises quickly and goes to 80psi. So oil pressure should not be a problem for me any more. Hopefully today I'll be able to get it tuned. And we shall see how this Triple 12 does I'll keep updating

sounds good, Gonna try and drop the pan to get access to the tube. Better than removing the front timing cover again. Sucks that its a 4x4 lol
