Well, i have been searching the site to find the answers but i figure i will just start a new thread. I know this is a beaten to death subject here at PT.net so bear with me guys.

I want a cam in my 5.3 04 tahoe Z71.

I do 80% of my driving on the highway so i cant afford to lose a ton of top end.

I obviously want to add some power, and get this hog off the line a little better.

I would really prefer not to change out the lifters and springs if possible.


With all that info, am i going to be able to get a cam done on this truck to meet those needs? What size? any brand recommendations?

 

id say look at the Comp 206/212 and the 212/218 and you will have to upgrade the springs!

i have to ask though, do you have a tune yet? if not get that before the cam as that will help alot and once you install a cam it will need to be retuned.

 

yes i have a BB tune and some bolt-ons... working on round two, cam, headers, e-fans,

 

I'd say the 206/212 if you want some stronger low end off idle increase and decent all over gains. Maybe look into the 212/218 for some better mid to upper gains. Then there's the TR 220/220 option but you will lose alittle low end perhaps with stock stall but make up for it in the upper range definitely.

 

i have been on the comp cam web page all morning and cannot seem to locate these, you guys have a link?

use the drop down menu to choose GM III Ls1/Ls2/Ls6 350ci 97-present (three bolt)

 

Or give them a call and ask the company directly.

 

comp 206/212 (http://www.compcams.com/Cam_Specs/Ca...csid=1084&sb=2) ls6 springs and a yank tt2600

 

what does LSA stand for?

 

Lobe Seperation Angle, the tighter the lsa, the harder it will lope, a 112 will lope harder than a 114 or 116. It also has something to do with the ramp rate of the cam i think, im no expert, someone who knows will chime in soon!
