Default Cam for lifted 5.3

I have a 2003 Silverado 1500 5.3 4x4. It has a 6" lift and 35's with 4:56's. What would be a good cam for this truck with a decent lope? Also what would be a good stall?

I'm no expert on cams but from my knowledge, you don't want to go too big and you're going to want a stall.

212/218 if you don't want a stall.

218-220/226-228 if you want a small stall around 2800-3000rpm. I'm sure there are several cams in that size range to pick from or very close. Most places will tell you what works best. Look at texas speed or brian tooley racing, they offer lots of cams and cam packages.

Consider larger fuel injectors to support the extra power and pray your 4L60e holds together.

The stage 2 high lift from TSP. it will give you exactly what you want.

Here is a graph but youll be cruising right in its sweet spot.


Use it with or without a stall either way. if you want a stall we have the circle d truck thruster 2600 that is like $499. works great.
