I think there are a lot floating around. How hard did you look??

You won't find much in the truck scene though as these vehicles are so much heavier even tooley himself admits he'd rsther see something "smaller" for a max effort.

im referring to his truck line of low lift cams you can use stock pushrods and ls6 springs with. it is a 218/224 .553/.553 113+3. not the ls1 cams, they are way to big for a 5.3

I would like to know too. Looks like a great cam for the 5.3. I just checked and the website said the stage 3 is out of stock so maybe someone will have #s soon.

Yea I just wonder how the low lift will effect things and how it will work with my set up. I am hoping for some more low end tq but I think I just need some 4:10's lol

If you want more bottom end power why did you jump right to the stage 3? Look at the stage 2. Of course that wont give you the same top end power, but it will give you more bottom end.

The z06 cam in your engine is a slug down low... the BTR cams will make a big improvement there. The stage 3 more so after 2000 i'd say simply because idle wont be as smooth, but the stage 2 would be instant right off idle.

if i had a stock stall i would look at the stage 2 but with my 2600 stall it think the stage 3 will work well. also with a set of 4:10 gears it will really wake it up.
