Cam Ideas?

Get a custom grind u will be much happier.

I have the 220/220 .581 112 in my 5.3 with the stock verter and runs pretty good. This cam with headers and tune have given good gains.

what brand of cam is that?

Here's an article about a similar cam... http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/front...in-budget.html

Do you here the cam at all, like a little bit of lope?

I've got a thunder racing cheaTR cam. 219/230 .607/.604 117LSA. Sounds like stock at warm idle but runs like a raped ape. Like stated above a good torque converter would make a world of difference.

I do have lope at idle, not real choppy but enough to notice it has a cam. It is a baby cam though.

I had Pat G spec me a cam for a basically stock 5.3, I didn't want to lose that much bottom end but wanted it to just scream up top, he spat this one out only on a 111 LSA.

it wasnt a whole lot of diff from stock...just make sure you get a good tune and mpg shouldnt really change
