Im sure this has been asked and explained multiple times but, i am looking for a good torque cam for my 99 5.3 liter that will work best with the mods I have. My Mods are listed in my sig. Im not looking for anyting extremely radical. I drive the truck to work everyday. And use it to plow snow in the winter. Also do I need a better stall converter. If so any recommendations. I heard there is one out of a trailblazer that works well. Is that true. Suggestions would be great. Thanks

 

212/218 low lift

the converter out of the i6 TB works well.

sell your MAF and your hand held tuner

 

Whats wrong with the MAF. What do you recommend for a MAF. I6 = inline 6 correct.

 

That MAF has terrible resolution for custom tuning. Throw it away(sell it) and put the stock one back in. A TR220 wouldnt be a bad choice either on the cam IMO.

 

I went tr220 on my 4.8, decided on a 3200 from circle D... Just waiting till Thursday to order the verter... Cam is on route

 

Do you know wha years the tb had the inline 6 converter i need. Thanks for the help.

 

Plowing snow with the 4L60E is what raises my eyebrows. Taking that into consideration, here's my suggestions.

A built transmission is a must. Plowing with the t-case in low range is a must. Adding a larger transmission cooler is a must. I would not recommend a TB converter, or an aftermarket high stall converter. The larger diameter stock converter is what I'd stick with, and should work okay with the 212/218 low lift cam. No way in hell I'd recommend a TR220 and a converter for snowplowing.

Also, I agree with selling your aftermarket MAF and putting the stocker back in. Top it all off with a good tune, and you're all set.

 

Great. Thanks

 

yep, TR220 is gonna need at least a 3600 stall converter. stick with the low lift cam.

 

nice setup =]]]
