do u have that kind of cam? (if so) do u like it?

 

Refer back to post #6 to base your cam selection off of. Check out offerings from Comp in those ranges.

 

ok well in that case I found one from Vinci.. (thanks ramdaspahyde ) it is a 210/218 with a 114 LSA .531lift and 48 overlap. 1700-6k powerband and it says "light choppy idle"...now I donno what light is to them but I've looked up some videos on youtube and what not of a 5.3 with a 212/218 and I liked the way it sounded so.. Im guessin this is the end of my search thanks everyone for all the help and if anything seems out of place (I know Im stretching it with the converter I have so Ill take the advice and look for 1 out of a trailblazer) let me know. Thanks again everyone!

 

Im actually having a comp cams 212/218 installed right now. I read alot and just did a bunch of searching on this site theres lots of info to be had.

 

The lope is going to be very noticeable once you install it. After it's tuned, a lot of the lope is going to be out.

 

as in Ill notice the lope more after the tune or will I notice it less?
but I heard a 5.3 with the 212/218.. that should sound bad *** dude good luck

 

The Comp 206 / 212 .515 .522 @ 112 would be another alternative. Wouldn't need to worry about a convertor change either. The vinci cam above sounds like a nice cam too, but in the 4.8 you will probably need a small convertor to see its full potential

 

Go ahead and get a converter, anyways. You need it before a cam or at the same time. Go with a trailblazer cam. It's the smallest, least expensive nice piece you can get. You can find them on ebay for around 300 bucks.

 

+1 Do that and also do yourself a favor and get the 212/218 high or low lift 114 comp cam, some ls6 springs, and 7.4" hardened pushrods as well. That would be a very nice cam from seeing what it can do in a mild 5.3 setup. You can find the cam at thunderracing.com, ebay, or comp's website. I would do one of the first two because comp's website is really poorly designed and confusing. Good Luck!

 

I'd go with the Vinci cam simply because it's the 210 duration. It's not much different than the 212, but the less duration will give him a bit more dig in the low end. It's on a 114lsa, so it'll be easily tunable and give a nice little choppy idle. Not like soemthing with a 230/234 112lsa, but nice
