hey guys.

just picked up an 03' ECSB 5.3
First chevy V8 truck ever for me.


Id love to do a cam/headers and a tune. im looking for more of an aggressive sound than maximum performance.

question

can i do a great sounding cam without a stall? i want a good lope.

also...will i see a major difference between shorty and long tubes with these motors?

thanks in advance guys

 

Our HT1 cam has a VERY noticeable idle, but has good street manners and will work with a stock converter. LTs and a good catback should top it off very nicely. We have the cam in stock for $374.80, and Pacesetter LTs and Y-Pipe for be had for $554.90. All prices plus shipping!

Let us know!!

 

do i need to do any other drivetrain modifications...IE springs, rockers, etc for this setup? what kind of power should i expect? also what about a tuner? what is everyone using?

 

You're not the only one to cam one of these things. Guys gotta start looking through these threads. This is the 5th time this has been asked in 3 days. Have you tried a search?

 

comp ****** thumper cam look it up on youtube

 

lol

 

i did do a search..and there were recent posts about questions on cam choices. but as i didnt want to use a stall...i figured id post. thanks for the warm welcome.

 

get the cam from SDPC, some ls6 springs and some hardened pushrods.

 

thanks guys. im gonna go with that setup.

 

Blackcash has a point, i've seen more WHAT CAM threads than usual...

Just find something that doesnt have huge numbers and has an lsa around 110 or 112 and it should be around what you want. Definitely talk to a sponsor about what they recommended for exactly what you want to do...


And yes, don't waste time or money on shorties, go straight to LTS
