2004 RC/SB 4X4 5.3 cam choice
I know I know.....just use the "SEARCH" feature but most of the cam choices are for 2wd trucks. As you can see I have a 2004 Silverado LS RC/SB 4x4 with 5.3, 4L60, and 4.10 posi. I have the mods listed below in my signature and have a Yank Truck Thruster 2600 ready to be installed and am planning a set of Stainless Works Long Tube Headers w/Catted Y-Pipe in the near future. Once those mods are installed I plan on doing a cam. When I first joined this site I posted a similar question here:
https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...&highlight=cam
I know I have strayed from my original post (above) but I do not think by much. I still am looking for a basically stock power range cam (6000-6250 rpm max) with a nice gain all over but especially down low where my new conveter will really help it. I rarely, if ever, go off-road but I do use 4WD during the winter months in New England. I have never taken my truck to the track but I would like to maybe a few times a year to "see what she'll do". I contacted Cam Motion for a custom cam with my mods and they suggested a 205/210 0.550"/0.544" on 114* Lobe Centerline and 110* Intake Centerline. This cam is very similar to the cam that Naked Av has in his truck.
What I am really looking for is a nice upgrade from stock that will work well with all my above mods. I would like a nice lope to my idle but it is not a top priority. Future mods will more than likely include 05+ Radiator/Electric Fans, Vinci/Crane 1.85 Rockers and some suspension work. Not so likely mods (at this time) would be heads and Radix Supercharger. If I could hit 300 RWHP and 325+ RWTQ I would be more than happy naturally aspirated. Any help/information you guys/girls can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

210/218 114 or a 212/218 114 cam
with your stall those would work well
if not, then the 206/212 would be fine, but i would go with atleast a 210/218 though. I have that cam in my 04 ECSB 4x4 with the stock stall and only lost a tad low end below 3k... i plan on getting a tb2600 shortly
