cams

hi im new here just have a few questions hopefully u guys have the answers.
well im planing on buying a 5.3 from the junkyard go through make sure its fine and everything. and put headers and port the heads then through a cam in there. well i found the vinvi 080 and looks like a nice cam will i have to put a stall on my trans 700r4 by the way this is goin in a 93 k1500. then i might switch it to a carb will the cam work with the carb or is it a computer controled and not compatable? if there is a cam that u guys think would be better let me know. it will be a DD and want some torque to play with and ill be towing occationaly but just like a trailer with 2 atvs and a big generator and some stuf in the bed not a whole lot.

thanks.

I wouldn't think there would be anything wrong with a 080 Vinci Cam...but I would try looking at their 112 cam. It would sound better and give better performance given the higher overlap and lower LSA... But make sure you buy some hardened pushrods and valve springs to go along with the cam...

would i need a stall with that one? i wanna a low end cam i dont wanna be makein top tq at 5000 rpm. i wanna keep it at 4000-4500 hopefully.

Where are ya. I am going to have the 5.3 out of my truck for sale soon cheap. Like maybe 500.00 Should be complete minus computer and accessorys.

[txarkitekt]

Yeah, you would need to stall it...a 2600 would be sufficient for the lower lift and duration of that cam...

with either cam would i have to stall it cuz i dont really want to do that. only if i really have to. and zeake im in michigan.

You could prolly get a 5.3 just as cheap there once you consider shipping.

It was worth a thought.

If you are gunna cam your motor, I would highly suggest doing a 2600 stall--that is a great DD stall and it retains great everyday driveability... That stall would always keep you in the fat of your torque curve, making you utilize your motor's new found power better. Since you are towing with this truck, you need to make sure to be running a tranny cooler. I would suggest a 40,000 GWVR cooler...

ok thanks guys now i checked out stall converters and im really confused on them. i dont know sh!t about them. i see 9.5in one 10in 11in and i dont know which size and i didnt see 2600 rpm on i saw a 2400. if u have a link could u give it to me. i alredy have a trans cooler that was on there when my dad used to own the truck years back. i have another question do i need a different trans. right now i have a 700r4 in my 93. i dont know if i need a computer controled trans or if the 5.3 will bolt up.

thanks
