Cam???

[blackjack325]

Ok, im sure this subject has been touched quite a bit. The ol' "what cam on my 5.3L?"

But im here here on it, needing some help with my particular set up.

I got an 08 Sierra ECSB 5.3L w/stock diff 3.73 gears, long tubes, cat-less y-pipe, vette servo, 3000 stall circle D verter and tuned (of course).
I had purchased a used TSP224R cam with rods but I had decided i was gonna sell my truck so I sold it. (Big mistake) The guy that was gonna buy it, didnt pass the credit so I now decided on keeping my truck.

What do you all think about the TSP 224R cam on my truck given the mods I have and the 3000 stall im running. Changing out the verter is not an option. My truck isnt really daily driven, maybe 2-3 days a week. But I still want to keep as much driveablility as I can because I do use it for long road trips.

The cam will probably stay on for about 1-2 years, then I'll go SC. I am also trying to get as much info on DOD delete as possible for this cam swap.
Sorry for the long story guys....

anyone??

With your 3000 stall I would run the 220 cam instead.

[blackjack325]

Think the 224R's power band is too high for the 3000?
what about the LSA? what does the different LSA do to performance/driveablility?

[o2camaross]

the lower the lsa, the sooner the power will come on, and the more lope too

[blackjack325]

so low LSA is good then?

the 220 and the 224R are offered in 112,114,116 LSA

[o2camaross]

i would go with the 112 if i were you. but if you plan on boosting you want to keep the lsa up.

I think the TR224 works great in the 5.3. IMO if you only drive it occasionally you could go slightly bigger, but the 224 would work great

kind of the same question, I like the sound of the tsp228r cam, I have a 06 gmc 5.3 and 3.73 extended cab, 2wheel drive. I only drive it on the weekends. What stall can I get away with, hoping a 2600.

I have a 224/230 114lsa cam in my 5.3 and the power does not come in until about 3600. Thats why i suggested the 220/220 cam should have a lil more usable power low IMO.
