I actually decided to get some American racing Torq thrust St wheels and then some long tubes and ory and tune and then a small cam and then deal with the rear end and then maybe some FI, HOPEFULLY

 

 

Where are u located? I'm in Houston so there's literally LS tuning shops almost on every corner haha . And yeah I can't decide what to do next, I really really want a drop kit because my truck is already running pretty good, but I also really want a cam lol. I also have an 89 Silverado single cab stepside as a project and I dropped it 4/6 from djm suspension flip kit and control arms and Springs in the front I'll try to ge t some pics of the cragars and my other truck up

 

Savannah GA. We have like one tuning shop here and they are just starting out and they use hp tuners but do it in person so I dunno whether to use black bear or Nelson or the local

 

What kind of cam were u thinking about because I don't wanna lose too much bottom end

 

I really want a 220 cam but I don't have the extra money and tools to do a stall swap so everyone says you can run a 212/218 low lift without swapping stalls. Plus it's a nice cam if you ever decide to go boosted

 

Yeah I was looking at the tsp 220r and 224r, they got really good pulling range. I knew a guy who had a 06 crew cab with a 216/220 cam and he ran 13s in the 1/4 and he used a trailblazer stall in his (check those out, cheap way to get a good stall for the street u don't want too much stall without real good tires or it won't hook up) but he swapped that motor into an 02 single cab and ran no stall and the 216 220 ran good on the street. I got a buddy with an 02 single cab with a 4.8 with a 228r cam and 3200 stall but my 5.3 is still faster with just bolt ons stock cam and stall so I think he went too much on the cam and lost his bottom end

 

I've never done a cam swap and just got my 4l60 rebuilt with a overhaul kit so is it something I can do in the driveway or should I play it safe

 

Haha I don't know I just turned 19 I've never done a cam swap either but I've done everything else on my truck so far and there'sthere's lots of cam swap videos on YouTube how to but yeah idk what I'll do next but I think it's something u can do at home u just need the right tools and yeah I heard u said earlier u blew ur rear end and tranny my friend did the exact same in his 5.3 we played around too much and blew rear end and tranny at the same time opened up the diff cover and gear pieces just fell out lol

 

Haha the shop that repaired mine said the same.
