How many of you guys are running stock heads with a cam? I use my truck daily and actually use it for work but was wondering/kinda worried about daily drivability...I cant afford (money/time) if it takes a crap on me.

Im definitely in the market to do the install but want all the input before I bail off and get one. A vendor on TBSSowners has spec'd out a custom grind for me that 'says' id put down 400whp/tq on a stall and stock heads.

Whats yalls input on drivability/reliability?

 

i would do a converter first... then do a smaller cam if its gunna be daily driven. But the drivability is all gunna be in the tune...

 

Yea im getting a 3000 and doing the install before the cam.

But I wanted to make sure im doing a cam before I actually purchase the stall

 

The "Rob style" and "stealth" cam's Alvin offer's show good results with stock heads and from what guys have said there good on the street also..

 

do you already have headers?

 

Yea the "rob style" and "Attitude" are the two Alvin was telling me about. Yea I have the 1 7/8 kooks with catless Y

 

Anyone know what cam specs this guy is running? ffw to 40 sec

Thats a lot bigger cam than the stealth cam. Would be more like the attitude cam from alvin.
You should be fine going with a cam but drive-ability varies with opinion. You will get worse gas mileage but the motor should be fine for daily driving. Your tranny might not be...

 

I mean the TBSS's dont get great mileage anyway...I get 15mpg at wot or cruising...so really doesnt matter..ha

I just didnt want surge real bad or hurt on the motor from putting miles on it but I think the stall would take care of that.

 

I know on tbssowners there was a guy selling his cam that had the awd cam only record. You should buy that one.
