Hello I am new to the form!
I have a 2000 Silverado 5.3L 2wd ext cab on 20's
It has longtubes custom exhaust, cold air, under drive pulley, efans, 1.8 ratio Yella Terra rocker arms, hardened pushrods and dyno tuned

It put down 274rwhp and 338rwtq before the rockers. IDK with the rockers

My question is what cam would give the most low end tq and improve top end some what.

I want to keep the stock stall "and transmission for as long as possible"
150,000 miles on it

It is my daily driver and pulls my 4000lbs barefoot boat every weekend 130 mile round trip

 

Comp 212/218 low lift is what you want, no bigger for now imo.

 

Something like that, or even something like the 212/212-112 isky cam that a lot of turbo guys are running should be great for that. Its a good torque cam from what ive seen.

 

What about the 206/212 112 or vinnic 210/218 112 with .550 lift?

 

I'd go for the vinci 210/218 over the 206/212 imo.

 

You have to keep in mind though with the rockers, your .550 lift is actually .582 lift. With any cam you look at

I don't know if the 206/212 would really be worth the time of doing the swap. Both of those cams should be stock stall friendly though.

 

The rockers did wonders for the stock cam. I love them I just want more now haha

I was planing on getting beehive springs .600 from comp, so is .582 lift to much for my needs? my stock cam lift is now .493in .484ex that is almost a .1 lift jump

Will the truck use alot more fuel with a .582 lift around town?

My dream is to eventually put a turbo with safe 6ish psi so the triple 12 isky has me interested if it will work well N/A then later F/I

 

If u run a stock stall Ur mpg won't really change much but u will notice a power differnce I would do the triple 12 isky cam or the 210/218 and the lift is fine as long as u have the valve springs to go with it. And they both will be both good n/a and fi

 

ok so vinic has a 210/218 114 .531 lift. That with my 1.8 rockers would give me a .562 lift

Would the ls6/9 springs good to a .570 lift from summit for $70 work or would if it was your truck would you spend the extra money to get .600 springs?

 

LS6 springs would be fine, if you want a step better get something like pac 1218 springs good for .600 lift.
