dont buy a lingenfelter cam, there ****!!!!! I had one and even cam experts couldnt help tune it, as well as there customer service refused to help me.

 

Okay, terrific.

Anything specific?

 

is that comp cams that you suggested above a custom grind, because its not here http://www.compcams.com/technical/Ca...07/172-175.pdf, on their site for ls1/ls1, 4.8,5.3,6.0 cams?

 

Wondering if anybody tried the GM LS6 cam?
I think the # is 12565308
204/218 w.551/.555 lift

 

Lingenfelter cams are not that hard to tune. Atleast the gt2-3 isnt!!! Hell it runs on a stock tune. But pulls even harder when tuned! This is in a 5.3l n/a.

 

I'd say idle to 5800, since the stock cam is nearly that range (190/191), and this is bigger.

Regarding the wet blanket guy, Lingenfelter cams are cut by Comp, so I wouldn't worry about tuning, QC, or anything else for that matter. It sounds like he had a tuner who didn't know what he was doing.

I paid $350 for an almost identical cam from Cam Motion, and it worked great in my 5.3L Avalanche. I actually gained power off-idle with my stock converter. I never got it tuned, and I gained 15-20 RWHP across the entire powerband.

And the price is right for the Lingenfelter at $250.

 

Heres a question...
lingenfelter lists, as most companies do, the cam as an LS1/6 cam. Now, I know that cubes affect the 'radicallity' (yeah, you like that word) of the cam, going from a 5.7 to a 5.3 is not that big of a jump, so I imagine a 'good daily driver' cam for an LS1 is still good in a 5.3, BUT, does it increase the need for a tune?

 

What cam are you talking about here?

How was the tq jump? thats really what I want.

 

The only cam I've talked about here, the GT2. And it gave me 12-15 RWTQ across the entire powerband.

 

I was the tuner but i had help from big tex and alot of other wise people from here, including nelson. It was a GT-1 in my 5.3 so it was going to be a challange, but what pissed me off most is when i called the lingenfelter guys and talked to there techs (3 of them) they all refused to provide any help. They all said "that cam is for a 5.7L, not a 5.3. You need to buy another cam." This is after i called before i bought it and they said then "it will be fine, there isnt that much difference between the 2 motors, though it will make better power in a 5.7." I just didnt like there customer service.
