Default What cam should I look into using ???

I have a 2006 crew cab silverado with 5.3 and gonna use this truck for a daily driver all it has now is the volant intake and scoop with the throttle body spacer I also have the zex silverado nitrous kit for it not installed yet

Was also thinking of using the transgo hd2 **** kit? Any suggestions what I should do??

It'll prob need a little more converter then that being a silverado.. Probably a eBay revmax 5500 ftw.

Since no one ever really asks about 5.3 cams around here, I probably wouldn't have search either. I know these threads are really hard to find so I did some search-engine-fu and posted the one or two that I could find (in 23 seconds)

That should be enough to get you started.

Nah just get it rolling with a 300 shot.

To the tread starter: You will soon discover that everyone has their own opinion on "the best cam" I suggest you research what cam specs mean and how it effects engine size.

jason3lt.... dude, really. I'm new here too, BUT, you need to learn to research before asking a question. There is a TON of knowledgeable people here, the one thing they dislike is a post that you can scroll down the page to get your answer. Very helpful people here if you help yourself. Flame away if you like but damn... Read the same page I am and you will understand the frustration.

Yes smart guy I seen all thoes different post and was still unsure on what to use that's why I asked and had the comments directed towards what I had done to my truck rather then a truck with headers, custom tunes and stuff like thanks for your reply tho and want my truck to still pass smog if that's possible with changing the cam
