My ambitious project tonight

[Poncho]

No. Its an 01' LS6 cam, they are a fair amount hotter duration wise than an LS2 cam.

wasn't sure which Z06 cam you used, my spares, or a 01+ cam

[BAD LS1]

I have some hardened 7.400" pushrods I may be parting with.... I'll find out if I can reuse them on the new setup or not in about 3 weeks.
Would those work?

ive got 7.400's in it now. needs 7.425's

[Sprayaway Fox]

All I can say is.... WOW!

[88Nightmare]

hey tom, i wonder how one of those cams would do in my 5.3

[A B4C Z]

They are sposed to work very well. I went a litttle bigger in my truck. It moves on the go but needs a converter out of the whole its a dog.

[BAD LS1]

Well this cam seems to have reversed roles vs the stocker, low end is softer and high end charge is better. Im sure it would be pretty pultry in a truck down low.

Mike you need a 6.0L swap and decent cam and then it will rip pretty good.

[88Nightmare]

why not just go for the 8.1L

A converter that would actually make a difference is gonna hinder towing ability....

i can agree to that, my car is dying for gears with the cam I have now!

[BAD LS1]

Mike you strike me as the type of guy who likes low end muscle and want something quick stop ligh to stop light... That 5.3 will never give that w/o a maggie or the like. Its easier and cheaper to swap in a junkyard LQ9.

[88Nightmare]

will the lq9 still bolt up to my 4L60 or is that LQ9 gonna hurt my 4L60 and force me to step up to the 4L80?

ss silverado is only a 4l60e..........FWIW

[88Nightmare]

I forgot all about that.



So a LQ9 with a cam should wake that truck up nicely.... Tax return time I may seriously consider this. I have no warranty anymore so I might as well. Save the 5.3 in the garage incase the 6.0 blows up. What is all involved with the swap? Engine, wiring harness, computer?

[Flicktitty]

where is the vid? i wanna hear it lol

[BAD LS1]

Still no push rods yet... ******* thunder racing....

Mike, all you need is a long block, all your 5.3 stuff swaps over, even the computer will work.

[88Nightmare]

if I can get one complete that would be cool, then I can save my 5.3 as complete as possible in case something were to happen. but again, Im guessing a 8.1L would be a waste?

Waste of gas.... They make parts for them and can be fast, but big bucks.

Big deal if you need to swap over accesories or intakes...

[88Nightmare]

tom did you get my pm?

[Breecher_7]

The 4l60 will hold if its built right. Seth still has a 4l60 behind his engine and its making over 600rwhp. Granted its built, but its still a 4l60.
