Alright so I'm needing alil help with a coworker5.3 I'm more used to playing around with my blown silly ss and now my 6.2. Haven't played much with 5.3s
Basicly he's got an 04 cc 5.3 and wanted alil more sound and grunt so I suggested a cold air/ headers and full exaust and a custom tune/ welllll now he has the itch haha he got smoked by another buddies silvery ss
So now his come back to me for round 2 haha he wants to beat the ss so in my mind I suggest a cam would be the best bang for his buck. Which he loved the thought of I think he is more excited about the sound then anything haha having that in mind with alil help I've come up with 2 options for a cam with a heavy lob sep so he will be happy with the lump lump haha
Sooo what's everyone's thoughts is it gonna be enought to hang with an ss and anyone use either cam

if he wants to stay N/A pick up some 4.8 pistons to bump the compression to get a little more of a edge. idk about cams though.

 

Comp told me the 215/223 would work wonderfully in my 5.3 CC if I wanted to invest in the good valvesprings to run it. It will need a converter though. I ended up with a custom 218/224 on a 110 and I have a 3000 Vigilante, it really needs a touch more compression and more gear, but it does come on strong right after the converter and sounds wicked.

 

You wouldn't happen to have a sound clip of it would. A 110 must be a lumpy sob lol

 

Here ya go

OP, is he willing to run a stall converter with a higher stall speed, or does he possible already have one? Let me know and I can better help spec a camshaft.

 

TR220 with a 3k stall

 

thanks...sounds like a BEAST

 

he doesnt have a stall yet, but i THINK!! i can talk him in to one ! what are your oppions on the 2 cams i had listed? any help would be great jake i had already talked him in to ordering a cam from you guys

 

The HT1 cam wouldn't be a bad choice either.
