anybody running a tr224r in a 5.3? if so how are the driving manners and power output of the cam in the 5.3 with a ls6 or stock intake and stock internals? trying to figure out what i want to put in my truck since all i have right now is a stall and gear. oh yeah and headers will be added with cam and possibly intake then tuned.
Lots of people are.
people on PT.net foam at the mouth for that cam......everyday someone puts one in and goes crazy about it in the 5.3
go for it!!!...even though you would prolly better benefit from it with all the bolt ons first...
thats the cam i have in my car. lol
what stall and gears???
4000 stall and 3.73s
it's a little more stall than i wanted but got a heck of a deal on it so i went with it but still want around a 2800-3200 stall instead.
IMHO your fine, go with the cam and start smiling!Quote:

and everything is tuned for the current mods? for the most part.....noone of these trucks want to make power over 6 g's. i may shift at 6600, doesn't mean the truck is still pulling hard that highQuote:
