So some of you know I'm deployed so I have tons of research and What-if time on my hands.

I have a habit of trying new and different things; for instance my drive train and suspension...

I know most of the recommended cams but love to be different so I poke around at what I don't see done yet.

I have seen great results here and there from the Lingenfelter GT2-3 but I'd like bigger. So I look and compare their stuff and find the GT1. And cant find much on any trucks running it.

Lingenfelter GT1 Hyd Roller Camshaft 350-383-427 LS1, LS2, LS3, LS6 - Lingenfelter Performance

Stock 5.3 in my signature. I have a new Yank TT3000 waiting and some low mile LS7 lifters. How would It perform?

 

Tough to say without knowing the advance in the cam, but if you're staying NA I would without hesitation say you can do better...

 

I would like more explanation of why this wouldn't be a good one. I may go FI someday but it'd be a while. And give me other suggestions and why? I'm trying to learn.

 

As I mentioned its hard to really criticize this cam without knowing how much advance is ground in.

But for a NA cam it has a lot of unnecessary exhaust bias. That usually means its pushing the exhaust valve open sooner than it has to be. In a NA motor that can hurt your power curve. It may make it carry longer, but your mid range suffers. If there is no advance then its not as much of a concern, but it pushes the intake event late enough that it will be a very high revving cam in a 5.3.

For your truck with as heavy as it is I would be looking to something in the ball park of a 218/220 112+3

 

Found the card. Can you tell me more. I can be talked out of it. I just want to learn as I go.

 

I got two friends that run the gt2 and their both slow.

 

The 42* intake close it way too late for what you want. It'll be a dog. It'll pull decent RPM but it'll be a dog. The whole combo is just kind of wrong...

 

Fair enough. Thank you.

BTR Truck Stage III Camshaft - Brian Tooley Racing

Tell me about Brian Tooley's Stage 3 Truck cam...
I've seen a couple online run it, even say they like it but, nothing critical or constructive saying why or how much power?

 

I run something similar in mine. It pulls super good above 3200 or so.

It might be OK with a stock converter but I would do a stall just in case.

 

Like I said in the initial post I've got a 3000 stall Yank waiting at the house...
