Is it worth ur $500 ur gonna have to spend later on a new 5.3? My 222/226 Eps cam made 340 on a double roller dyno on a conservative tune spinning to only 6200. That engine won't last long spinning to 7k.... and withought a 4000+ converter that thing isn't going no where.. imo

I think its cool you posted your mod and numbers like you should in this section, do you have a video of how it sounds at idle and what springs and rods did you use

I bet the truck does have a nasty idle!
Yeah I also heard that the stock converters do yield better results in your situation on the dyno. With you still being on the stock converter it won't have any power down low as you know which has already been stated. If you put a 4K converter on it I bet that thing would RUN!
BTW I don't recommend you posting this thread on gmfullsize as some members over there will go out of their way to Troll on your thread.(ask me how I know lol) People here at PT.net are so much friendlier. I don't think 05gmcsierra meant any harm.
I also still have the stock converter in my truck, It needs changed very bad.
