"Changing the oil" in the av and it gave me a chance to look at the specs on the cam.
For those with an STS kit, this cam is awesome; truck has great lowend torque, pulls to 6500 and is very streetable, no noticable idle! The av has always ran very strong, but I just couldn't remember what cam it had.
3709R/3711R HR114+2
212/216 .558/.561 114LSA +2
Just an fyi,

ive been thinking about cams alot.
i was also thinkingthat would be a good one.
Thats very similar to my cam, think the lift is .524 and 115 lsa, i really like it with the reworked TB stall from circle D
I thought you guys would catch on, you can't check the cam by changing oil lol.
Time for an upgrade!
I was thinking... Wtf?
What are you putting in?
I didn't see the connection with the oil change.
I caught it but was afraid to ask...
Nothing big, just a 6.0L swap LQ4, with some 243heads.
Same cam, 12psi, 60lb'ers.
Should be a nice bump in power.
The reason I'm changing is because one of the 5.3 lifters always had a small tap to it, so getting ready to travel north and I didn't want anything to fail.
haha didn't want a lifter to fail on the way to ennis so im putting a badass motor in and bumping the boost up
^^^^^ hahahahahahaha :LOL:
I have a small exhaust leak.I think I will swap in a 6.0 to.
lol @ ''changing the oil''
Is there a place in town to get some of the 243 heads Alan?
me (Alan) or Allen (Allen)
??
I picked up my 243's off LS1Tech.com for $450 shippedQuote:

i have one of those noisy lifters, its between 15 other noisy lifters. i'm just waiting to see pushrods flt through my hood at 4k rpm. should be fun, i guess i can hurry up and finish me .3. still lack some parts, pushrods especially, bought a custom grind cam, turns out the base circle is like .050'' small wtf?
heck I thoguht you was just chekcing everyhting out. Just give me your cam and put something new in the 6.0L.
Quirk on the Gen-III motors.Quote:

Be pretty hard to run a cam you couldn't slide into the engine.
The fix is to reduce base circle to pull lobe in.

LOL, free oil changes with engine purchase hahah
does that include house calls
Allen Pm sent
LOL he believed him^^^^^^
No I didnt. LoL I really sent him a Pm though
I bought a $16K set of jumper cables once that came with a Blazer that was one year old...so the free oil change with an engine purchase sounds like a good deal to me.
