have read on here for weeks, but still dont know what cam i want to put in my truck. looking for low end torque, but with nice upper end. not to many trucks around here. just a bunch of 4 and 6 bangers.ecsb 2wd. i have cai, pacesetter lt's, y-pipe, no cats. and a tune. right now im putting down 310rwhp and 335ft.lb. to the wheels. thanks for all the help.

well thats weird why ur putting down 310rwhp and 335ft.lb. of torque i only put down 270rwhp and 289ft.lb of torque with my 5.3l with with cam and bolt on's, thats probably at the flywheel not rear wheels but anyway my buddy put a 212/218 in his 5.3 and that thing has wicked low end power and its good up top too, he ran a 13.9 in the 1/4 with that cam, long tubes, tune with stock converter and 3.42's. but his truck is also a scsb. but sounds like the cam you might be looking for

I would suggest that 212/218 but he's also running Pacesetters...Unless he plans on running an aftermarket converter, he may want to drop duration a bit or either get some smaller headers...Those pacesetters in a heavy truck have to kill bottom end.

my truck was dyno tuned at 310, ill post the dyno sheet sometime. yea my bottom end sucks. my rear end is only 3.23's. ill get a converter if necessary, you got an idle clip of the cam?

thanks, what size stall should i get if needed?

you dont need one but a 3000 would be great with it. you could run a lower stall as well...this cam doesnt deprive you of bottom end power.

so now Im wondering y xlcooplx ran a 13.9 with less mods than chris04 and a smaller cam as well? granted u dont have a time but 270hp wouldnt run faster than a 13.9 or close right?
