Wuz up ya, thinking to get a cam for my 5.3 chevy single cab truck. But still aint decisive in which one to get. Well can anyone recomend me which type of cam can i get to increase more horsepower and more torque at the same time for my 5.3 truck?

 

Almost any cam will be an improvement over stock. You need to figure out what you want to use the truck for and what kind of driveability you're wanting before you go any farther.

 

alot of people have been having good luck with the TR220... but you will need a converter for sure... what gears do you have

 

well i have the 373 gears and also i already have the converter in my truck too.

 

what mods do you have in your truck now??? any times??

 

What verter?

 

Hey well i don't really know what converter is on my truck, because when i bought my truck it was already install, but i found out because one of my cuz tried it out, and well when i have the brakes on with my left foot and while im giving the truck some gas, it dosen't peal off thill the RPM's are at almost 1600 RPM's so, i guess what good, so any of ya have any ideas what kind of Converter do i have.

 

Stock

 

it depends on what you want.. do you want good sound? Choppy idle? Smooth Idle?

206/212 cams are better than stock and have stock idle
212/218 cams are better than the above but idle is hit or miss(might need tuning and a 2600-3000stall)
220 cam is bigger and better, but you need a 2800-3000 stall to make up for low end loss and more than likely idle tuning.

the bigger you go, the more lope/choppy sound you get

 

Hmm... I wonder why no one suggests Comp cams. Ah well... guess I'll have to see what they do when my C10 breaths again!
