That cam isnt just small, it doesnt even begin to work the power out of those heads. Nor is it getting the best from the LSxRT.

360 isnt anything to sneeze at, I know it runs like a beast with that power, but there is plenty left in the set up with a few changes. Id say you pretty much sprayed some air freshner on some dog ****.

EDIT: stock injectors?

IMO those are great results for a N/A 5.3L .

do you have a dyno graph you could post up?

I agree the cam is a bit small, but so is your stall..If you wanted a bigger cam a bigger stall is a must, and or steeper gears. But then you have to ask yourself what you really want...peak dyno(braggin right) or track performance? or a more street friendly setup that also performs great that you already have.

yep, stock injectors. I called trick flow to ask if they would be enough, and they said use them....tuner didn't say i was running out of fuel either

why not invest on a custom cam... to match the heads, since you already invested so much in heads and intake..
