Do i just need to install new springs, retianers and locks for the new cam, if i keep the stock rockers do i need new pushrods?
yes
Well i got a new cam for my Silverado today, is similair to a stock LS6 cam, but with more dur@.050
Specs are
.550/.550 218/218 on a 117 LSA. Im gonna get some 918 springs, and a tune along with the LT's and ORY and a Volant CAI and the truck should make real close to the same power numbers as the onin the first post here.
Look forward to trying something like this or a heads and and cam swap on my LQ4.
where are you in san antonio i would love to see your truck because if you can FEEL the differance then i would do it in a week but if its not that noticable then i dont see y to do it get back with me on this thanks Jon
I believe the truck ran a 13.6 with no converter and 3.23 gears (yuck!), since there, he's installed a 3000yank we had here and 4.10's. I'm sure it's easily in the 12's by now. I haven't spoken with the customer since the stall and gears.Quote:

the truck this post was based upon ran a 13.6 damn thats pretty good considering...and in the 12s now damn im pumped
oh no, it ran that after the mods, 13.6 was with the mods above, now i'm sure it's faster with gears and converter.Quote:

This was a decent sized cam, so, it really brought the power band up. This requires a converter and gears.
So, 13.6 is really good, it only shows how slow it took off the line, the mph was good though, indicating HP is strong.
