    Help me pick a cam!

    not really, but....

    we need a cam recommendation worksheet. and then make it a Stickey! should cut down on the 11 cam posts made daily with no information about the actual truck until post # 7.

    i.e.

    Year: 2006
    Configuration: RCSB
    Motor: 4.8
    Transmission: 4L60E
    Gears: 4.10
    Tires: 30"
    Towing: No, never
    Use: Daily Driver/10 miles a day
    Future Plans: 50HP dry shot of Nitrous
    Performance Parts: cutout, CAI (not 10K headlamps)
    Torque Converter: Stock

    ^^^^other suggestions?^^^^^^^


    just throwing this out there

    Great idea.
    Could put desired or planned torque converter instead.... Some people only want to go to say a 3000 while others are willing to go to 4000 or whatever....
    Most when they purchase a cam have stall going in at the same time or close to it...

    Ls1, Pnp heads, Polluter camshaft, spray, 4k stall on the way

    NV3500 5 Speed

    Tows often
    Daily Driver: 20 Miles per day
    Future plans: NV4500, solid axle swap, 4:10 gears, valve job
    Performance parts: Long tube headers, CAI, Nelson tune (new cam specific)
    1989 K1500, 33's, LQ4 swap in the works

    Sounds a whole lot like my setup, except for the manual transmission.
