I'm getting a cam for my truck finally. The only problem is i cant decide between two. The truck is a 01 rcsb sierra with a 4.8, auto, and 3.42's. It is my daily driver and i dont want to go too big. I plan on getting a nelson tune and probaly a converter with about a 2600 stall speed. my two choices are
comp 212/218 low lift on 114 lsa
comp 216/220 on 114lsa.
I have a friend who can get me a deal on some ls6 springs. I plan on installing everything myself.
i mostly want a good lope and decent power
Also, should I get hardened pushrods? If so what lenght?
Thanks

 

anyone?

 

with those cams i wouldnt see a reason to need the hardened push rods but if you are in there you miight as well upgrade them. the 216/220 seems like it would be a good plan for you especially with the 2600 stall. and it wouldnt damage your mpg too much

 

I put a 216/220 114 in a 4.8 and had good results. I would go with that one. It will have a little lope, but it will run good.

 

I would go with 216/220 no hardern pr but shift it around 6500 trust me put one close to this one in a 4.8 with a few bolt ons and 3.73 ran 13.51 running the 1/4 in 2nr gear he was shifting @ 7000
