I wish some tuners would chime in because I'm sure they probably have already tuned some of these new trucks. So many choices

I've been on the comp cams "camquest6" and it gives very good choices but I want something that has been tried in a NNBS and works. This truck will be a daily driver with light occasional towing.
That's alot of mods for a daily driver..."I LIKE IT" keep us posted

Comp cams is saying 212/216 .520,.524 115LSA
and Nelson Performance is also recommending that same cam. What do you guys think?? I'm thinking these are probably on the conservative side???

I ran a 222/224/112 comp and I loved it with my tt3000, i drove it daily and it worked great! My friend also has one, he loved it, and then Zippy got it and he loves it too! I say go with that one man, u will be pissed u wasted ur time with a 212/218.

I started the cam swap today. Just pulled the motor so I could throw the Yank in too. I did end up replacing the lifters with ls7 lifters and disabled the DOD and VVT. Everything on motor is back together and putting it back in the truck tommorrow. I don't think it will run to hot since it won't be tuned until probably next week. I'll try and put some sound clips on once it runs good. I'm crossing my fingers hoping everything goes well.

Get hirdlej's attention because he's finding new things out about the LS7 lifters. Double check your pushrod length.
