I'm thinking about putting a cam in my truck. Im not looking for all out performance, just more power than stock. I drive my truck everday and tow my camaro to the track. I'm not looking to put in a stall, and I don't want to lose any towing power. I choose a cam as a mod not just because of a performace gain, but because of the sound also. I want to hear it.

I have quite a few questions about this, but I'll start here:

What max lift will the '03 5.3L springs handle? Reason me asking is I have a hot cam layin' around that I used to have in my camaro and would like to know if I would have to change the valvesprings if I decide to use it.(hotcam=.525/.525)

Do you think the hotcam would perform like I described above? If not any suggestions would be helpful.

Well 20 views and no response...

I guess I'll just throw it in with some comp 918's and tune it and see what happens.

 

well i was also thinking about the hot cam. I think a set of ls6 springs will work fine . couple of people on here have them. do a search.

 

Yeah, I used the ls6 springs with this cam on my z28. I just figured I'd use the 918's this time just in case I upgrade cams someday.

I'll search some more....
