I am going to do a heads&cam upgrade on my '05 Z71 CCSB. I am running a 150 shot of NOS and want to know what some of you think I should do as far as a cam. I know I will have to do a stall converter, so that's already in the budget. Give me some specs on cam and stall.
There are many variables involved in a cam selection. Which 5.3 do you have (flat top or dished pistons)? What is the goal for the truck (any towing or just racing)? Is it going to be a DD? Do you own a dog or a cat? What size gears/tires do you have? How heavy is the truck (any weight reduction)? What is your driving style?

Yes it is my DD.
Dog, small one, rides in the cab.
3.42's, 20" rims with 285/60/20's
I think the truck is about 52xx lbs.
I'm not in it all the time, I have a light to moderate foot.
I'm a taurus
I like moon lit strolls by the water
I hate cats (the animal and exhaust)
My hair is brown
Anything else?

I would do this one with a larger gear and higher stall converter for DD so that I'm not totally dissapointed in the lose of torque down low.

I would do this one if I didn't care at all about low-end performance, but seeing as it will be a DD, I wouldn't recommend it.
For cylinder heads, a nice set of CNCed heads with a preferrably smaller combustion chamber because more compression is always a good thing!

The TR220 is a proven cam for the 5.3 and tons of ppl DD their trucsk with it and a 3K stall.

As far as n2o you can get a cam spec'd for it but it wouldnt be as spunky for normal driving. Till you get above a 200 shot you'll be ok with a motor cam most the time

Would the TR220 be alright with stock stall if you only race from a kick? I mean how much do you lose down low. The dyno shows torque being way above stock still at 3500.

How much do those Circle D converters run, I'm looking at a Yank converter and liking what I see. Any opinions on them versus the Circle D.
if your gonna do the tr220 go ahead and get the circle d stall or some sort of stall and be done with it . the circle d runs about $375. I run this cam and it is a great daily driver, with my setup still get 20mpg. Nick
