Time for a cam swap 08 silverado
I've been waiting for this to happen from a long time.
The Truck is a 5.3L CC silverado w/3.73
OK here is what Im thinking of a TSP 224R on a 113 LSA but whats stopping me to order is the Pushrod im going with a cam package that comes with the PRC Double springs but I dont know what to choose from the pushrods
7.40" standard
7.35" lenght
7.375"length
7.425"length
Mods will be Corsa muffler ,s&b intake , vette servo , trans go shift kit , ASP UD pulleys. and a tune ofcourse. thinking of adding electric cutout if it needs to let more air out
will this setup be good for a daily driver and a street race car . Im not thinking of adding a stall at the moment .
I know that there are too many cam questions but I searched them all and couldnt find what i want to install.
Please add your suggestions

you're going to need a 3bolt cam sprocket, and a timing cover assembly from an 05-06 gto since they have to tune out the VVT. and yes 7.4" pushrods! good luck! texas speed in installing mine next month!

what is a good torque converter to go with and what stall do I need to go with?
Now that you bring the hole shot problem I currently have it right now After I hp tuned I started having that problem From a dig it takes a long time but after 3000RPM It wakes I dont know why this happens I tried reducing the timing or increasing but nothing happens when I return the stock tune it moves good I reduced the torque managment by 50% Forgot the firmness and the DOD off and a little more tweaks.
I read alot that this happens but it doesnt hapen to the Regular cab and the Extnded cab.

Is there a special cam required for the AFM(DOD) engines or do you just disable the LOMA solenoids and just run as a non-AFM engine? What about those special collapsing lifter? Do they have to be replaced with the legacy lifters or can you just leave them in there and pull the AFM stick out and shove the new on in?
