I have read many a post on cams for the 5.3L. I will probably go with the LS1 cam so I don't have to mess with the springs. My question is, all if not all of the posts I have read are on trucks and not SUV's. Is there any difference as far as driveability is concerned? I am looking for a mild cam, easy install, with great idle. I will be tuning with Nelson afterwards. Just wandering, if there is anything different I need to know before going with this setup.

Also, how long does it take you all to change a cam?

 

I dont think that the LS1 cam is going to give you enough gains to justify doing a cam swap. If you have never done a cam swap before I would not recommend doing one on your own. I dont belive that there is enough room to slide the cam out of the block with out removing the rad. and A/C cond. Has far as how long it would take to install, if you know what you are doing around 5-7hrs. Spent the money on other bolt-ons like higher ratio rocker arm, headers, cat back, tuning, and so on. You will be happier.
