What do I need for a mid 14?

You can't. The truck I'm talking about is my 2003 Silverado Z71. It has the 5.3 V8 with 3.73's. I can put it in 2wd, 4wd, or Autotrac-which is similar to Awd.

somebody post up any results of hotcammed trucks if you run into any or if you few guys go with one.

Tbyrne told me 30 hp without tuning. I don't know if that's at the wheels or flywheel.When I get mine put in, I'll let you know what I think. I'll try to have it dynoed before and after.

Sorry, your sig says Silverado SS 03, I assumed you had an 03 SS. My bad. I have an 03 SS and was wondering if there is switch somewhere I was missing. It is possible you know.

Good luck on the hotCAM. I'm interested. MTI has some CAMs they say make a ton of torque and add considerable HP from 1500-6500RPM. Only need springs, but they recommend new titanium rods as well. They say the secret is really high lift. www.motorsporttech.com

I don't know enough about CAM shafts to know what to think.

MTI has a good name. I'm choosing the hotcam because I want the power to start lower. With the hotcam, I believe the power starts at around 800 rpm and goes to 5800. It's a good everyday driver cam. I don't wanna put too much right away. It's also a good price. If you don't mind waiting for the power to kick in later, and don't mind going to 6500 rpm,and the rough idle, I think your on the right track for a cam pick. Let us know what you choose and how it goes.

Tbyrne has the hotcam kit with springs and retainers for $450. I was gonna do the hotcam, 2600 stall converter, and Nelson Tuning. I was hoping that the three together could get me close to a second off my quarter mile. I've heard some bad things about the e-fans, the only headers I'll go with are the long tubes with y-pipe and hi flo cats-and those are $1200! I also heard that I shouldn't bother with the servo and shift kit if I'm gonna have Nelson tune my shifts. I have taylor 10.4 mm wires, but I need plugs. I would like Denso Iridiums. If I run into traction problems, I'll use 4WD. Anyway, have you guys heard of the same things I've mentioned here? Thanks again

That sounds like a nice combo for 14's.
On the trans, I can get the tranny shifting really nice, 100% better than stock, but the shift kit will really help out. If you're thinking of nice firm shifts, I recommend one shim, that'll be a nice daily driver.

Let me know if I can help out,

thanks,

allen

Would you be willing to do the install when I come down to get the tune? Maybe you can hook me up with the shift kit/servo combo? :thumb:
