    Need more torque!

    I have a 2005 silverado 2wheel drive with a 5.3l, 3.73's, cai, throttlebody spacer, msd wires, lt headers, no cat's, with 3'' flowmaster exhaust, comp cams 208/212 .554/.558 on a 115lsa, 1.75 roller rockers, and a custom tune. I have good mid and upper power. However, my truck def lacks it in the pants when in comes to take off. I haven't had my tune updated since the cam. I'll be getting that done soon, so I hope that will help. Anyone have any sugestions, or am I only looking at gears? I am rolling on 285/50/20's and I can barley chrip them on a hard take off.

    Get a 3000 or 3500 stall, servo's and shift kit, and some 4.10 gears and you should be happy. If yo really feel like going faster, get a wet shot.

    Thats seems like a big stall for a daily driver. I dont know about the wet shot. I've always ben iffy about nitrous. My goal is a magnacharger.

    i would go with a 2600 stall with that cam and the fact that you are going with a s/c
    Name: Mark,
    God created turbo lag so nitrous trucks could have a chance.

    Bubba, you need a converter in the worst way. Call Precision Industries for a Vigilante. Tell Vickie your setup and cam specs and they'll build you one sweet converter that will make you think you just added 200 HP to the engine at take-off.
