Cam,converter,tune Question

Before Spending The Money For Upgrades I Was Wondering What Performance Increase Can I Expect With Cam, Converter And Tune. What Increase Have Yall Seen? Gained From 0-60, 1/4 Mile Etc.

all depends on the cam specs. the tune should yield around 20-30

Also depends on what vehicle and engine you start with.

What size stall? I dont know what it will yeild truthfully as far as times go. If you put the size of the cam you are orderin who is doin the tune (and yes it does matter sometimes) and what size stall someone on here probably can tell you pretty specific

Expect to run mid-to-low 14's with appropriate hardware selections.
I would pick a cam in the 208-216 degrees intake duration range, and a converter in the 2600-3200 stall range.

:ugh2::ugh2::ugh2:

So anyways with my cam, headers, stall and mail ordered tune, i gained 82hp over factory, then with that set up and 4:10 gears both runs on street tires factory i went 15.6....install.....13.7 :deal: so anyways here ya go, my cam isnt what most modest drivers would run just so you know. I have the dyno sheets for comparison.

factory: 259 rwhp
boltons etc: 341 rwhp

factory: 15.6 1/4
boltons etc. gears: 13.7 1/4

Good info G. I was gunna mention your stuff once I saw his note about the Aluminum 5.3. Seeing things, I am thinking your truck might have the L33 motor--which is the same one this guy is running. I am not 100% certain, but I am thinking the JG trucks may have had the L33...

Anyway, if you are considering a stall up to a 3200, then you can spec a pretty healthy cam for your truck. I would advise a custom grind from Comp. I would also recommend that your cam has a healthy duration number...5.3L love larger durations.
