Has anybody ever ran this cam in a stock 5.3L with only some bolt on mods?
Specs are
220/220 .581/.581 115 LSA Thats with stock 1.7 rockers.
It is suppose to be a stock idleing cam in a 5.7 LS1 but still make power like a bigger cam.
I want to install some Pacesetter LT's and ORY, efans, maybe pulleys, cold air intake, some sort of catback and was thinking this cam, and a tune of course.
Will this work well with the stock converter, and not try and pull thru the brakes at a stop light?
I think you'd be pretty happy with it. The duration should give you decent torque and the lift is good.
yeah im thinking the same thing. Any idea what the NP stage 2 cam has for LSA, the rest of the specs are the same as the MTI Stealth except for .007 less lift, which i dont see making any differance at all.
the low end will suffer some with that cam. It will idle stock though.
it is a nice cam, my friend had it in his 5.3 crewcab with a 2800fuddle and full bolt-ons and ran a 13.4 in perfect weather.., he had his idle at about 800-850 and it sounded like stock.... and the .7 lift difference wont make any difference..
yeah on another thread i seen the NP stage 2 cam is a 114 LSA, so i figure very similair results as the 100 HP thread, and those are about the same mods i have planned for mine, and 300 at the wheels and a mid to low 13 in the 1/4 would be just fine for a daily.
Do all supporting mods before jumping into a cam.
yeah i plan to.
I sold my stealth cam to Ramair2002. It was in my 5.7 and he put it in his 5.3, ask him how he likes it.
That is the cam I use with my Turbo. I heard the cam will work N/A or boosted. I agree your bttm end will suffer without a power adder and will scream up top.Quote:

3200 works well
is that alittle high for a DD? I was thinking a 2800 would be a better choice for a DD.

I'd still go with a different cam to match the heads better and the rest of the truck top end. Larger cams are for better heads and more compression.

Yep, Lance sold me his MTI cam and I paired it with the Yank TT3000. It's my DD (70-80 mile round trip) and absolutely love it. Trust me, the top end makes up for any loss on the bottom!! It seems to continously pull hard all the way through!! Oh, and I still average 18 mpg!!

big differance even with the boost??
How is the idle? Got any sound clips? Also is the engine a stock 5.3 other than the cam and associated parts?
Any track times???
If we end up at a light ill half to remember not to try anything.

I'm going to try and go tonight since the weather is nice and cool. We'll see if I can break away for a few runs...
I have a cam that is very similar--but I have +4 degress of advanced timing ground into a 114 LSA. It doesn't idle anything close to stock. It has a good rumble, but won't give you the thump-thump like a 112 LSA. The 2600 Yank I have matches up with it well for a DD TC. It is a little sluggish down low, but pulls really hard from about 4000 RPMs and up. I still can't give it 100% pedal in 1st gear without the rear tires being useless... It's a great cam, IMHO.
yeah, im thinking of doing the stealth 2 cam, a yank 2600 converter and LS2 heads. and of course the LT's and a cold air intake and a tune, should be good for atleast 325 or so to the wheels.
