This is the cam I will be putting in my 5.3 if I ever get a converter and main cap bolt to finish it. It is hard to find stuff on the tfs stage 1 cam I bought mine new off a guy for 220.

 

what springs did you go with?

 

i went with the PAC 1218 springs no problems

 

What kind of idle does it have. Is it still pretty mellow or can you really tell its in there?

 

josueh95!!! Good to see you on other forums!!! Iʻm also doing a cam upgrade too!!! Iʻm gonna look in to this one too!!!

 

it has some chop to it at idle..if you know about cams youll know its there by the sound but im impessed with the cam my i ddnt notice any drop in MPG so thats always a plus and a good gain in mid to hi end

 

Could a set of Z06 yellow springs be safely used with this cam? Looking for a mild cam to stuff in my LQ4 before the swap. Also, with that narrow of a split... how well will it do with factory exhaust manifolds?

I was considering an 02'-04' Z06 cam, but keep hearing that it will make my LQ4 a slug below 3000 RPM.

 

if by z06 you mean the ls6 than from what i came up with you can use them but its too close to its max lift..what they told me was that if i was gonna do it with that close of a lift to just do it right the first time and got PAC 1218 springs

 

this. You're learning quick.

The LS6 springs will cut it, but the others are safer.

Glad you're loving the cam too. I love the really subtle chop at idle. Very clean and powerful. Hard to ignore by your friends I'm sure. Add a mild converter and it'll rip from start to finish.
