Crane Cam 216/224

[ThumpinZ]

Those numbers were after all mods and tune. I did the install myself, just had MTI tune it. I'd like more I would atleast to make 300 to the wheel before she is retired for a 6l

hey ThumpinZ,
Have you hade your tune dialed in after the cam install? I ask because I was reading “truckin” magazine volume 36 #9 (this months GM vs ford vs dodge) and came across a project of there’s called "novakane" were they took a 04 sierra with a 4.8 5 speed (with slipping clutch so say the article) with over 110k on the clock and are building a sport truck out of it. they have much of what you have but different makers. On the 4.8 they have
banks monster exhaust
bank torque tube headers
banks ottomind programmer
(seeing a trend here)
banks ram air intake
and it put down 257hp and 286tq at the wheels after the mods
now i know you have higher miles then that truck and a auto trans but you also have a 5.3 to his 4.8 and a cam and h pipe
Not trying to pick a fight, just trying to make sure you get all the HP your paying for

what do u think i could pull out of the cam numbers wise with the cam swap and a nelsons 91 tune on it?

I donno.. Should be similar gains, but you do have some heavy rims and I've heard that can kill the numbers dyno wise but don't take my word on that. Not sure about the nelson tune either. Does anyone know if the Nelson tune will work with a cam? Or would he need it retune??

I would assume you would need to retune since the cam is changing alot and your going to have less vaccum so you would probably have poor idle quality and through a few codes.
