i have a 2004 sierra 5.3 z71 and im wanting to do a cam swap but not sure what one to go with? my mods are, CAI, CATBACK,LT'S,VETTE SERVOS, NELSON 91 TUNE, 3.73 GEARS. im thinking of running a 3000 cir d stall as well. This is my DD truck so i want something with street manors but wanna get alittle more power to the ground. thanks for the help guys.

 

Considering your gears and converter, I like the 220 for you, just my .02. The TR220 and TSP220r have proven themselves time and time again in the 5.3's.

 

im also interested in the cheater v3 forgot to add that to the mix....

 

ya doing alot of reading i hear about those cams alot they seem to do pretty we'll reason im thinking about the 224 or the v3 is just because ive called the company's and they talked highly about them? i was just wondering what everyones input is/was i applicate the help dude

 

tsp224r/ behind 5.3 @ 10:5, followed by yank 4400 & Ported 243's: pulls pretty good...

 

im probably only gunna run up to a 3000 stall since its my DD?

 

That's what I run on my DD and I'm very happy with it...it all depends on the person really. There are guys on this site running around with 3800+ and lovin it, while others feel that 2600 is too much. I know that I could live with an extra 200-300 rpm and still be OK with it since I do have a back up beater with a V6 to drive also, but if this truck was all that I had, I feel that 3k is perfect for me

 

ya for now she's all i got till i get my bike. just look'n for alittle more power outa it

 

3k will be fine with a 220, but you'll probably need a higher stall like 3600 if you go 224.
Some people swear by the 212/218 cams though. Do you want a lopey sound or not? If so, look for the 112 LSA. There's lots of vids on youtube of idle sounds.

 

212/218 is very good cam. the 220/220 with a 3000 or even a 3200 would do very well. i think the 224 will be a big turd till 45-50 without a looser converter or a lot of gear. just my .02
