I've got an lq9 from an 02 escalade with the lade's trany. I'm putting it into an 82 silverado with I believe 3.23 gears. This is my daily driver with 28" tall tires. What would be the best cam for a lopey idle with a moderate increase in power without buying a higher stall converter?

I thought this was the place for all ls questions, guess I was wrong.

im no expert but based on what youre looking for im thinking some off the shelf OE type of cam. perhaps something similar to an ls3/ls7 SPECS.

If your not going to do it right and do both, then just do a High Stall TC .
Lopey cam + stock stall = Fail/big disappointment!
