I am thinking of running this cam with my setup. Can you tell us more about how it runs?

Starts to feel real good at 4-4500k and pulls past my current shift point (6000 rpm). I would be willing ot bet it pulls to 6500 in the 5.3. I also have heads to, so I am sure that makes a difference. It does not feel like a real flat torque curve, but is nice and gradual. Very smooth power and it's running decent with the hypertech tune.

Sounds like I might have to really consider this cam with my new setup I plan on running.

I think I will like the cam much more after a tune. My transmission might not like it so much.

Sleeksilverado,
What was your oil pressure problem?

Pretty sure it was just the o-ring, but I also put the stock pump back in because I wanted to get it up and running.
