looking to make this pig move out harder, 2012 crew cab 5.3 6speed with 3.42's, So im looking for a cam and converter set up. tired of seeing the 220/220 or 212/218 set ups.... daily driver need to maintain gas mileage so speak also want a nice lope at idle, cant stand driving around a stock truck...
Any opnions on the comp 215/223 604/610 on 112lsa?
also they have the 219/227 same lift n lsa both cams have LSR lobes...
Custom grind be best and about a 3400 stall
Pat G over on LS1 tech?
Yup and on performance trucks he knows his stuff
been thinking about the 215/223 with a yank 9.5" 2800 stall, volant intake, nelson tune, some kind of headers with a catted y pipe and a 22 inch magnaflow. Its gotta be dependable and go anywhere and cruz easy still haul the wife and kid around all over the damn place LOL
Using this as a stepping stone for fastest CC title right?!
When lift gets agressive and over .600 a good double spring becomes very very important. With any stall or anyone who tows really a big transmission cooler becomes very important. The issue of reliability and driveability comes down to having the correct supporting mods and a very good tune. All things considered a speced cam from the likes of PatG and a stall speced by the likes of Chris at circle D will be your very best bet. The cam I like best for your mods and desires. 220/224 .607/.609 LSA 112 with a 3400 triple disk from circle d. With a trucool 40k cooler and patriot gold springs or the lunati equivalent you should be pretty good to go minus the other random things you will need.
I had the 220/224 low lift and loved it, mine was backed behind a 3000-3200 stock trans and gears. Allen hooked me up with a killer tune.
Don't forget to take into effect your DOD and VVT definitely changes up the outlook on cam swaps for a newer truck, not quite as simple as the original LS stuff
Sure, the DOD delete will involve LS7 lifters lifter trays, springs, pushrods, new timing set and a 3 bolt Cam. Anything else???
Well if the heads are coming off, might as well replace them too
What's wrong with 243's it has them on from the factory. Not looking to b the fastest crew cab by the way just faster than it is now. Tired of b n stock.
Nothing wrong with them other than they're stock :lol:
Hoser. I thought about getting some 799 out of the junk yard n doing a port n Polish job on em. Then throw them on should be a nice gain.
New valley cover too!Quote:

Found a whole DOD delete kit on Lingenfelter site.
What heads come on a 5.3 in a 04 Avalanche? If you swap your heads let me know!
Ill b keeping these 243's for sure.
Usually 706/862s. 243s have bigger chambers and will lower your CR which will negate any gains. Not worth it.Quote:

Thanks, still learning the ins and outs so this helps!Quote:

Why don't you put a lil love into those heads and port them!
I most likely will once i get them off for the cam swap since i gotta tear the top half off any ways. Ill practice on some junk 706's to get my craft down then work the 243's and the intake a lil...
bump 4 input
220/224 590 112. 3400 stall, and you dont have to pull the heads to swap a cam on the LS platform.
I had a DOD 5.3 and have to swap lifters, on my 01 yea cam swap was fast n easy 4 hours at DB Rods shop with pizza break. Allen said 2 days and he could have it in and out of his shop with a full cam swap, converter swap and tune.
