What's about the biggest cam can i do on a 05 silvy with a 5.3 without changing the stall
You can run whatever you want without a stall, but not saying its gonna be the best effort. I would say stay south of 220 duration on a stock stall. However, if your going to drop the money for a cam why not wait add a stall and get a bigger more fun cam?
No stall: 212/218 can't go wrong.
With a stall: 2xx/2xx the sky is the limit I think a 226/230 is a fun cam in a 5.3
X 2 I got a 220 cam in my truck and love it but I want a stall because its a dog till it hits the power band
make sure it has a lower lsa (111, 112) and some advance ground in....that will make it come into the power band sooner which would be a big plus with a stock stall
And what about gas mileage how much will i lose
I notice hardly nothing on the highway but prob 3 less in town? I think once I get my stall it will help some too
What's up bro? You plan on doing the can swap yourself? Me and my cousin will be doing a cam swap soon on are trucks. Also have 5.3s
Yeah i think my cuz knows u his name is bobby hes in a wheel chair now he said u were gonna sell him a 4.8 some time back i think ur the same guy but when y'all gonna do the cam swap ill like to help out even if i just hand u guys the tools lol i never opend up a motor like this but let me know im in schertz tx but ill meet up some place by the way u got a bad azz looking truck bro
Ya I know Bob tell him I said what's up. Does he still have his truck? I will let u know when we do the cam swap. It wont be till March. If u plan on doing yours sooner let me know.Quote:

March will work watcha gonna do cam, lifters, push rods and springs maybe oil pump ill bring the shiner bocks jajaja what size cams ya'll doing dont make me look bad lol im thinking a tsp 220/220 581/581 its a DD u know. Yeah ill tell bob u said whats up too he still got his truck bagged on 24s he wants a v8 next i said 6.0 he said anything will be better then his v6
I'm going with a 224/230 springs p rods lifters oil pump and timing chain. The 220 is a good cam a lot of torque down low.Quote:
