yeah those are good , remeber your going to more weight and less displacement and depending what stall size your going tobe running ! in my opinion a 3k stall and a tsp224 cam on a 5.3 avy sound really healthy !

 

i was thinking like a 3200-3600 stall

and thx for the cam suggestion. i will def take into consideration, keep in mind tho, i would like some tq down low, cuz i will be towing a horse trailer w/ horses once in a while

 

in that case u might need to go for a 212/218 those are real torquie cams, next time we kick it with your boy with the single cab with the t56 and your boy with the blown ss we can discuss about it!

 

cool, fasho...

coming from an f-body with 400+ hp its weird seeing those baby cam sizes lol

 

With the trucks being as heavy as they are though, under the curve power is much more important than peak numbers. The cam that will perform best isn't going to be one that you can really brag about the numbers.

 

dude couldent have said it better my se

 

Ya, though it's not ideal on the street, I was wondering if any truck guys were having much success on the track with big cam and stall combos.

 

a dude i know is running a 23*/23* cam on a 3k stall and 4:10's on a ecsb on a 28 inch slick on a 5.3 , and his running the same times that my cuzn is running on his 5.3 ecsb Z71 with a 212/218 on a 3k stall 4;10's and a 30 inch street tire , launchind in 4hi! so

 

Its not bad actually from say 2000RPMs on up when the converter is locked in OD. If the converter is locked in OD and the RPMs fall below 1500, it is a pooch. Unlocked it is just fine. I now have a 4400ish converter in it so it really doesn't matter as I am always getting her into a productive area of the powerband.

Yea, I am happy with TG in the 408. Took some time to get the off idle response where I wanted it but now it drives fantastic.

 

Yah, cubes make the difference on cams. Imo, the texas giant is mildly aggressive on a 408, very very streetable and very broad powerband! I have a buddy with a 408 rcsb that was speced a 242/242 on a 110 for his to try and take advantage of the vic jr. That setup needs to spin high, 7200 ishh probably.
