Alright guys I need some advice I have an 01 silverado 1500 with the 4.8 Im interested in getting a cam that will give me a good amount of power without having to change a big amount of the internals. I already have a CAI and flowmaster exhaust. To be honest when it comes to these cams I really dont know that much about em. Would appreciate any advice.
TR 220 Cam. At least thats what i wanna put in my 4.8
alright appreciate it man because I got on the comp cams site and just got completley lost.
Yup, tr220 112 lsa will give you a small lope. 114 lsa will be smoother. Keep in mind that you will need to change your valve springs and possibly push rods.
Also check out Texas speed's 220 cam
Definitely want hardened pushrods. Go with the complete cam kit from either Thunder or Texas speed. You are also going to need a front cover gasket, front crank seal, water pump gaskets, crank bolt and new fluids. If it were me I would go tr220 BC I like thunder. But the Texas speed 220 would work just fine. I would also put a ls6 oil pump, ls2 timing chain and ls7 lifters in there at the same time but its not absolutely necessary, just more of an insurance factor
Sounds like a plan to me and a little more saving to do lol appreciate the advice guys
I thought that with the exception of the head gaskets, all were reusable as long as they were damaged. Not saying I'm going to reuse mine, I just remember reading that somewhere.Quote:

Im sure you could reuse them all, but i know im not just because i dont want to have to redo somthing, you know. And you can even reuse gm mls head gaskets as well if you want. My roommate has pulled his heads 3 times and is still using the same gaskets lol. Its just a preference thing you know
