So i been looking for a cam for my 02 silverado right know i just have catback and cai but looking to get some long tubes, and a torque converter. what would be the best cam for this i was looking at texas speed 224-224 cams and they seem like a good buy but could i go more duration then 224. i was searching the forum but the cam page was messed up any info helps.

 

I searched for a while b4 I got my cam, listened to clips, exc.. Alot of the peeps on the board gave me help, info. I have yet to put the motor in the truck, but can't wait.. The more duration is going to move the hp/tq up more in the rpm range, if you are comfy with running a 3k or more stall on the street then go with more dur, plenty of guys here do.. more folks will chime in

For every action there is a positive (negative?) and equal reaction. A 224 cam and a 3000 rpm stall is a good combo, more duration, more stall. As you add to the top end you lose bottom end, in simple terms.

 

i put a vinci 216/224 .551 115lsa in my 5.3. you can search my name and see the gains it made and how it sounds

 

Yea i was looking at the yank 3000 torque converter. how bad are ls1 heads to put on the 5.3. i found a good deal on some and was just curious i now the have a smaller cc but do they perform better.

 

Stock ls1 heads flow the same as the 5.3 heads I'm pretty sure. You would see a power loss from the combustion chamber increase.

 

i believe its opposite and equal reaction

 

Thanks! It's been a while since physics class

 

i see, what tranny mods should i get, and were to get them. i also plan on getting hp tuners.
