Default Z06 Cams with 1.8 rockers arm!!!

I have LQ4 engine with CNC ported heads from West Coast Racing. with Z06 cams now. my truck pulls like train after 3500 rpm. but I really had bad time at track.
I still running stock tranny. maybe stock tranny can be problem. I thinking about getting 2600 stall converter with billet servos
I already got 1.8 rockers arm I dont know how much it will bring out from my engine.

To help with the bottom end you need a higher stall converter. Do you have one? Its a must with a new cam.

i still have stock converter, I think that is reason why I not getting power at low end.
I'm not ford guy, straight up GM power.
Think 3000stall converter is too hard for daily drive? with shift kit and 2nd vette and 4th super billet servo.

aiming 13sec 1/4 with N.A.

good luck with your goal, what vehicle do you have? the reason i ask if youo were a ford guy is because you said Z06 camS , we are SOHC, one cam. fords have 2. so when speaking "cam" dont day you have cams. unless you have more than one and trying to sell one no 3k stall will not be too hard DD, i have a DD and i have a 32-3400.

i drive a race tranny with 3800 stall daily, not a big deal. i wouldnt use rockers just a way to make up for poor choice in cam. this was no pun at you but just facts. they add .030 lift usually and you could just of got another cam for that price and had more money in pocket. as for being dead its cause of no stall. and you might need gears. cams love stalls and gears
