So I've heard many different things about the compcam 875-16 lifter and need to know if it will work cause I'm about to pull the trigger on my cam upgrade...

I have a 2011 Tahoe with the 325 5.3L... I am going with the 156-456-11 camshaft 219/235 .607/.621 113lsa, 7955-16 pushrods, 26926TS-KIT spring kit... So there are two options for this set up for the lifters: 850-16 and 875-16. What do you all think??? Thanks in advance!!!

 

What are you going to be doing with your Tahoe that requires such a big cam?

 

Get the Brian Tooley SLR lifters.

 

he discontinued them. Wasnt impressed by their performance. I talked to Brian about it a couple months ago right before he made the decision...

 

Unless you step up to the .750 wheel morel lifters, there's nothing under $500 that's worth using instead of ls7 lifters IMO.

 

Is it??? Compcam peeps said that it would be good for my heavy Tahoe since the power kicks in low on the power band...

 

Link bars or stock lifters. Also that seems like way too much exhaust duration unless you have plans for 300 shot or a supercharger.

 

I agree on cam size being too big. It would be ok if you want to run a 3000 stall converter. No cam will make more low end power than the stock cam but you can retain that power until a point. That cam would probably do alright on a stock converter in a single cab but I think you would be happier with a 212/218, ht-1 cam, or the trickflow 216/220. Just my .02

 

I am definitely getting a stall!!! Also port and polishing my heads... I already have headers, intake, exhaust... So this cam should be fine with these mods???

 

Who spec'd your cam?
