New guy- cam for Sierra Denali
Hey guys, hope this is I'm in the right thread/section of the site. I have an 05 Sierra Denali. Intake, true dual exhaust w/ high flow cats, and tune are all the significant upgrades I have now. Looking into a getting a Cam and possibly some other not too expensive upgrades this summer. Looking for suggestions for cam size or where to purchase(good price/customer service) and suggestions on other upgrades. Thanks!

A cam is not a one size fits all mod... it really depends what youre after.
How do you use the truck?
How many miles do you drive every year?
Do you have any performance goals in mind?
Do you have any transmission mods in mind? A looser converter is a game changer.

I didn't mean to come off like an idiot in that last post, I'm fairly knowledgeable about the truck and how a cam works I was just looking for suggestions on what everyone else is using. The truck is my daily and I'm not going for anything too ridiculous just some extra power, and preferably a cam that'll give me some more power down low because top speed isn't my biggest concern. What would you recommend converter wise?

For a daily driver that's not after all out performance I think a 278mm restalled factory converter is best.
If you just want a mild bump in power maybe the truck flow cam that's a 216/220. It's small for a 6.0 but it'll literally make more power from too to bottom.
The cam I have is in the big side tipoff adding bottom end power, but I definitely didn't lose any bottom end put it that way.

Vortec350ss thanks for the help! My brother was a gm mechanic for 4-5 years and has built his 12 second duramax so I'm sure he will have a good idea on what would be best for my truck but I was curious on what everyone on here was running for a mild DD.

I did check out your videos and had come across them a while back as well! Would love to hear your input on that, might help me cut a few corners and avoid some wasted time/money
