Was in the 5.3L. I'll have to get home to get all the specs firmed up. Custom ground by Cam Motion. Later failed and the reason I now have a 6.0L. 205/212 .550?/.600? 114LSA +4 advance.

The fastest Silverado SSS with a Radix used a cam bigger than that and shifted somewhere around 6k. I doubt you're going to get much more torque by advancing the cam and if you do it'll be in the power range where you don't need it. The weight may sound like a big deal, but alot of the trucks on here are around the 5500lb range and more. If you watch your truck when you're wide open you spend very little time below 3k (especially with a Radix) and that is where advancing the cam is going to help. Above 3k I doubt you'd see any gain on the dyno or at the track by advancing it. Like Brian said, with a supercharger (Radix) you don't need any more. I fully agree with him on that.

Especially with 4.10's I can see that. I've yet to drive the truck with the radix so I can only compare wot stock which spends some time below 3k because it jsut bogs. Do I need rod bolts to spin above the stock rev limiter of 5800
