Im Hozer from southern WI. I was hoping to talk to some people with some gm trucks, I need a little cam advice.

I have an 05 silverado 1500 crew w/5.3. I put a 6 inch fabtech w/ 35's
4.56 gears, shorty headers, cold air, and programmer on it.

A friend of mine wants to sell me the heads off of his Z06. (for cheap)
I figure they would be a little upgrade but then i thought well i will cam it too, but I need some help picking out a cam and torque converter.
Please help me if you have any suggestions

 

Welcome to PT.net
Read a bit, there are a few threads on head swaps and cams. Most (me included) will advise tossing the programmer and getting a custom tune.

What do you want to use your truck for? Off road or street? Stick around, you'll probably change your mind

 

i am gonna keep the truck for street use. i put only 6 or 7,000 miles on a year but i want to keep the drivability. I don't usually haul much w/ it but a couple of four wheelers, i was going to get a custom tune after the head and cam swap.

 

I think the heads will lower your compression.

 

that was a concern for me, I am going to look into that before i buy them. He claimed that they should be the same combustion chamber. it is an 01 Z06 do you know what the chamber size one those.

 

you could always get them milled

 

thats another option too, thanks. i had a brain fart i guess i should have thought of that. it might work out because i was going to take them to a local machine shop and have them freshened up if i bought them anyway.
Thanks

 

wouldn't those heads just be the 243's?

 

arent 243s ls6 heads

 

yep...
