    well there you go a stall hurts a stock cam, you have a cam to help out that top end the stall kills out, that's why i lost my top end, i launched better but just lost a little, kind of wierd that he kept the same mph though, he needs a cam to go with that stall to help drop his times a little more

    see that's what I thought as well, but another buddy of mine with same set up went from a 14.1 to a 13.6 and hitting high 1.7 60fts with stock cam...but I guess all trucks respond differently to mods...he already has the cam and springs at his house and is gonna install it this weekend.

    Sounds like to me the trans is slipping under high load. Or the converter is slipping. My guess is the trans is slipping.

    tranny feels awesome, doesnt feel like any slipping is happening...I guess he'll just have to wait till he puts on the cam and see how she does at the track.

    I disagree. the truck should run harder with a stall on the stock cam without hurting it. my ecsb 5.3 pushed 1.88 60' times. my stock cammed ls1 ecsb on the same converter went 1.88 60' times. my ls1 ecsb with a cam went 1.88 on the same converter. finally just upped the converter to get better 60's and im still not happy with a stupid 1.82
