Ummm, is this for your truck? Why does the sheet say "LT1 & LT4"? I don't think that would fit in a LS1 style vehicle. If I were you, I'd look in the sponsors section, find one who is having a cam sale, and give them a call. Actually, I'd call several and find a consensus on what cam you should get. Then order it from the cheapest.

that 112lsa would be fun to tune too. not to mention take out some of your bottom end power.

I was thinking with the 3000 stall and whipple,sacrificing some low end would be a fair trade for more mid and top.
I'm going to email comp cams again and ask them if they made a mistake on engines. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

I ordered my Yank in mid-jan and got it about two weeks later. Installed it this past weekend. First day or two, I wasn't used to the low rpms, but its feeling almost normal now.

Did you also tell them you have a blower? Even if it was for the right year model, the specs look way off. The duration looks ok but the lsa and lift seem low to me for a forced induction motor. I would think 114 lsa with a .53x-.56x lift. :dunno: Anyone else have some insite?

I agree - the 112 LSA isn't blower friendly for a 5.3 motor. I would expect the lift to be in the .530s, maybe .540s.

I filled out a form listing all mods,blower-how much boost,what type of stall,headers and such.Gave them the year,make,model of truck and engine.I even made a note stating the the blower was a whipple twin screw.I'm sending an email today asking if the might have made a mistake.I'll post what they say.
