Default another cam thread...deciding...maybe

2013 sierra 5.3
basically stock. just a 6" lift/35's/4.10's/airaid MIT/mail order tune
Looking for a little more performance. Thinking future upgrades will be a cam kit/springs, and some LT's
Most likely the lt's will come first so I can build on that, not sure on which brand, the tsp's seem like a good value and fit is pretty goos from what I have read.
Cam = might be awhile for that. btr stage 1 or 2? I do want to keep the stock converter, for now. Can't afford everything at once.
I know everyone has an opinion on cam specs,
Just looking for suggestions of guys that are running the stage 1 or 2 with stock converters.
thanks.

Anything at or slightly under a 212/218 spec will do. A good 40-50hp bump with a good tune and exhaust.

Everybody has a stage this or that and I don't keep track, the specs should be pretty similar what I typed.

I run a truck cam 2 from BTR on the stock converter, 265/70/17 and 3.73 through another 4l60. wish I had a 2800-3000 stall in it but it’s ok for now

Doesn't matter here, those sizes still work with the stock stall.
