which performance/mileage cam for 5.7L ?????

[dustiebutt]

I am sure there are lots of experienced hands here that can tell me what a good performance cam with decent fuel mileage I could put in my '95 fathers C1500 silverado//5.7L. engine is stock with an auto tranny......13 mpg is about all I can squeeze out of it and it doesnt have many miles on it. Use it for general use but sure could use a little more power. Looking for a cam that doesnt require changes to the rest of the valve train. Thanks!!!!

im sure someone could answer this for you but,

this is mostly a ls based truck forum, i know alot of ppl over at fullsizechevy.com could answer you in minutes might try over there.

or you could just do a ls swap then put a ls6 cam in there lol

an Edelbrock performer or preformer rpm package would do wonders. You would also have to get a new chip burned for it though.

Just swap the motor to a 5.3 more potential, and mpg.

You're going to have to swap other parts of the valvetrain. No matter what.

Leave it alone or LS swap...
