cam for my 5.3L

[lechez71]

is the 5.3 in the white truck, or the brown one? A cam is a good investment. But make sure it will work well with future plans. Like FI or NA. It will help you decide what route you wanna go.

the 5.3L is in the white truck, but im currently swaping a 5.3L in the brown truck also. im going to get a cam for the white truck for now. oh and i plan on keeping the 99 silverado NA. and as for the 82 c10 im not sure if im going with a turbo or NA so the motor is going in stock for now. this is the motor and tranny going in the 82 c10.

I think you would like the ASA cam. I ran it and picked up 60whp with it. And its easy on the valvetrain. Works with the yellow springs which are $50 and responds better to more open exhausts.

yeah ive seen your youtube video and it sounds sweet. did you have a stall converter. ive heard mix reviews about that cam though, some say its all sound and others say it worked good for them.

With a stock stall, I went 14.7 @ 95mph with a truck that weighed 4850 with me in it. With a stall, mid 13's was were it would have been. That was also on a 4.8. Youll need at least a 3k rpm stall. It is mostly sound, but if you setup your exhaust right... large gains can be seen. My peak power was at 6k rpms.
60whp with $150 cam, and $50 springs, and $118 pushrods is a killer deal.

did you have LT headers, what was your exhaust setup.

pacesetter lts, offroad y, and a bullet dumped. All 3 inch. With this cam, the more open the exhaust the more power it makes. If you put it on a stockish type exhuaust, it will make the same power as a hot cam. on open exhaust it will make 30-60 more whp

60whp are nice gains for the cam swap. im going to look into the asa cam. im going to call alan and see what cam specs he gives me for my heavy truck.
