Welcome to the site! First thing I would do is ditch the programmer and get a custom tune. Nelson Performance - Performance without Sacrificing Drivability The rest just depends on what you use your truck for and what you want to get out of it.
Ditch the hypertech. Get a good live tune. Look into a nice cam and stall set up. It is kinda drastic but not on FI kind of level. But if tearing into it isnt what you want you could just put a SC or Turbo on it. The more you do the more you will want to do. I only wanted a low 14 sec truck when I joined this site..... now I want a high 11..... and I got a feeling if I ever get there... I will want a low 10...
Back to your subject though. If you are going with the cam, stall idea.. when you are getting the stall put in get servos and a shift kit put it just to help ya tranny out a bit.
if i go with a cam what should i go with. i use the truck for towing and go to the track as well so far i ran a 15.9 at 88. also u said a tork converter, what stall speed and were would i find servos for the 4l80e
Welcome.
For the cam and stall, I would say it depends on what all you want to do to your truck. What I mean is, if you choose a good N/A cam now then decide to put a turbo or s/c on, you might have to change to a different cam later on. Your stall is also based on which cam you go with. For the servos, I would try oregon preformance transmission. I think there is a sticky on here somewhere about there stuff. You may also want to look into a good trans cooler especially if you tow. Trucool 40k is a good one.
if i went with this cam Crane PowerMax Camshafts
Camshaft, Hydraulic Roller Tappet, Advertised Duration 262/ 262, Lift .502/ .502, Chevy, Small Block what stall on thr tork converter should i use
also does any one know of good performance shops in rhode island
That cam seems REALLY big man. Mine is in the 214/220 range and its over stock. Most people that are running a big cam is only in the 230s..... Are you sure you arent looking at the old gen 1 carb motor cams?
got the info off of summit its a towing cam
262 is the advertised duration, the duration we go by is duration at .050 in. lift. for this baby cam its only 200/200. hillbilly6.0, just do a little searching to familiarize yourself with what size cams people run for their specific applications. For instance, i'm running a Thunder Racing 224/224- .556/.556- 112 lsa in my 6.0 with a 3k stall. this cam is a higher rpm cam and my truck is more of a play toy than a dd or tow rig, so it works good for me.
ok so if im going to tow and use for daliy driver i should probley look for somthing thats good for idle to 5000 rpm and a tork convter thats in the 2000 rpm range
thanks for the help ill probley call sometime this week
Nelson recommended me to get one no bigger than 2600 for towing and off-roading. I will probably end up getting a 2400. Welcome to the site, these guys are extremely knowledgeable.
hell ya these guys know there stuff
