Biggest cam in a 5.3
#22
My cam is fairly small at 214/216 but it along with my home ported and milled heads got me 13.17@102 back in cooler weather. My last trip to the track temps were in the high 80's and still pulled off a 13.31@101.

[QUOTE=Flyer]Grey, what did you run on motor? How's the drivability? That's big, but I was actually planning on going bigger still.
I always run nitrous at the track, need to get some n/a #s one of these days. Drivability is fine, it's all about the tune. It does like the gas pumps. A big cam needs a big stall to make it work well.

02, that's a HUGE split in that cam you're talkin about. I still don't see how such a large split will be to my advantage. I already have a good exhaust, really good.

Tractionless, that's almost the cam I was looking at. I'm looking at TSP's 233/239 on a 113 and a set of AFR's.
Grey, that's another reason I wanna run that big *** cam in a 5.3, a tuning challenge. If I really get ambitious, I'll prolly do a SD tune on it and just ditch the MAF all together.
I will be going back to a 60e and a fat converter though.

LPE GT-1 here. Its been a bitch to tune. But its pulling 40+lb air and I've run it up to 7300rpms with the only problem being running out of fuel on the 32# injectors. It works well with the stall, which stalls to almost 4k even.
