Default Please dont bash !!!!!

I have a 2002 chevy avalanche and am looking for a camshaft that will give me the most torque at the lowest rpm, not looking at doing a torque converter at the moment. I have searched threads and checked websites. Just looking for a solid answer. Plain and simple

Most people will probably the 212/218 or smaller. Possible a little smaller because of your weight.

This is also a great option. Gears were my first mod. The truck just pulled its self down the road so much easier.

Was going to say the same thing. No aftermarket grind is going to give you more low end torque.

A mild stall torque converter plus the gears mentioned above would probably help out a lot. The factory converter is very under stalled. Just a trailblazer (not ss) converter would make a big difference.

If you want it for towing I would suggest some gears as well.
