Goal: Fastest n/a 5.3 Mod
Hi, is this still your goal? I was just wondering because I don't think 6,000-rpm shift points will get you there. Not to mention, you are looking for a camshaft with stock drivability. To claim that title, I think you'll have to make some compromises in the drivability department.
RPM is going to be free power.

yeah, it's my goal....... i'm just trying to think outside the box some...... more torque for a heavier vehicle, broader powerband for the automatic. I know that rpms is free power, and i'm not scared to do it. I'm just trying a different route of thinking right now. This is all in speculation and brainstorming.
