thats the cam i run in my truck...
it a great daily driver cam, but not much lope if that whatg ur looking for...
i personally would go with a 212/218 low lift in that 5.3..

ohh ya, no matter which cam you put in, springs and pushrods are a must....
also a tune if u want to get any power out of the cam..

 

Specs? I'm having trouble with my computer at work and can't access the search feature on Comp's website....for future reference please post the specs of the cams, as it's a pain in the butt to keep going back to Comp's site and searching for the cam that you're interested in...and I don't know of anybody who has every part number memorized lol.

 

Just curious, who told you the GM hot cam was a good cam?

 

Just people saying on other sites.

I pretty much i decided Im going to go with the 212/218 that everyone is using. Gonna upgrade springs and all that.

Gonna get some more small stuff done first such as gears, gauges and all that. I may end up changine my exhaust again.

how do you guys thing my exhaust will sound with a cam

OK, I was able to access Comp's site, 206/212 .513/.520 115...that's very similar to my cam, which is a great daily driver and works well with the stock converter. Even this baby cam could benefit from a mild converter though...I'll know soon enough when I pay off my FLT Level7 and get to romp on my Circle-D triple disc When I was at stock height on 33's, my truck ran 16.5@81.7mph in the 1/4. After installing this cam and tuning, I ran 15.6@89.5 mph...nice gains IMO, for a cam that sounds almost stock and doesn't really need a higher stalled torque converter

 

Thats great gains from a cam, but was that track at a super high elevation?

 

I had a 212/218 low lift in my 5.3 with a Trailblazer converter, and I was not happy with the amount of torque that was lost compared to stock. I was down right disapointed, and that was on 255/70/16, honestly do the converter first. Its acutally gonna be more bang for your buck then the cam will. When the fun from the new converter wears off do a TR220 on a 112...

 

For once I totally agree with you

I would definitely do gears first before anything though, IIRC the L33s came with 3.42s or something rediculous for a 4wd with your size tires that cant be too fun to drive.

Get a tight 3K stall such as a TT3000 or talk to Chris at Circle D Im sure he can fix you up. After your gears and a converter, bump it up to a decent sized cam. 4.56 gears, 3K stall and a 220ish duration cam will make your truck feel like a race car compared to the way it runs now.

 

Wow, I must be wrong then

I know your not gonna wanna go as big as I did but, my Yank 3600 dropped slightly more then a full second off my E.T. as compared to cam only times. The cam itself was only good for a few tenths, and by the time it was properly tuned you couldn't tell if from a stock idle...

 

Gears are coming very soon. 4.56s. Just trying gonna go ahead and throw in a 14 bolt while im at it.
