Im new to the forum, What is a good cam and valve springs for an 04 5.3 cc without torque converter with 3.73?. Also, anyone have any results torque an horsepower wise that they can post? I am looking to get the snail to move off the line, it runs ok from a roll, I have HP tuners and would probably need to get some help tuning for the cam as well. If anyone has any cams for sell, let me know.

Thanks.

 

Check out the XR265HR...212/218 .522/.529 114 cam, a solid performer all around. Search the forums for "XR265HR" and look at NicD's results.

 

212/218 low lift is a great perfomer i am running this cam in my cc and couldnt be happier with the results and yes it will work very well with stock stall i recomend some ls6 springs with some 7.4 hardened pushrods just for some peace in mind.

 

If you wanna get off the line you want a converter not a cam...

im looking for the same, i want a cam without having to do a converter, and i have ls6 yellow springs, but i want something that isnt going to lope any at all. i was thinking the vinci ultra torque cam 080 it has a 210/218 duration with 551/551 lift on a 116 lsa

 

LS6 cam...

 

Below is what I have camshaft wise. See the results in my signature. I put it in for towing. Idles nicely at 600 RPM.

208/216 .554”/.561” 114LSA +4 advance (with 1.7 ratio rockers) Comp XE/XE lobes

 

mine does pretty good
even before the stall it was good

My baby cam worked great without a converter, and personally I wouldn't go any bigger than my cam without a converter, after driving it both with and without. Down low, it was just a tad better than stock, almost the same, but I only gained 1/10 at the track on my 60' time, which is basically nothing. Now that I have a converter that flashes to about 2900-3k, the truck is so much more fun to drive and launches great (especially in 4wd with traction, in 2wd it just smokes the tires)
