You can run whatever you want without a stall, but not saying its gonna be the best effort. I would say stay south of 220 duration on a stock stall. However, if your going to drop the money for a cam why not wait add a stall and get a bigger more fun cam?
No stall: 212/218 can't go wrong.
With a stall: 2xx/2xx the sky is the limit I think a 226/230 is a fun cam in a 5.3
X 2 I got a 220 cam in my truck and love it but I want a stall because its a dog till it hits the power band
make sure it has a lower lsa (111, 112) and some advance ground in....that will make it come into the power band sooner which would be a big plus with a stock stall
And what about gas mileage how much will i lose
I notice hardly nothing on the highway but prob 3 less in town? I think once I get my stall it will help some too
What's up bro? You plan on doing the can swap yourself? Me and my cousin will be doing a cam swap soon on are trucks. Also have 5.3s
Yeah i think my cuz knows u his name is bobby hes in a wheel chair now he said u were gonna sell him a 4.8 some time back i think ur the same guy but when y'all gonna do the cam swap ill like to help out even if i just hand u guys the tools lol i never opend up a motor like this but let me know im in schertz tx but ill meet up some place by the way u got a bad azz looking truck bro
Ya I know Bob tell him I said what's up. Does he still have his truck? I will let u know when we do the cam swap. It wont be till March. If u plan on doing yours sooner let me know.Quote:
