Hey i was just wondering, my 99Z28 now has a 5.3LM7 after my ls1 blew up i picked up the whole motor for 250 bucks complete with 60k on it lol. Anyway I am thinking about doing a cam swap , the car as it sits will have

5.3L
A4 4l60e with 3000RPM stall
4.10 Gears
Full boltons ie longtubes ORY SLP loudmouth , SLP Lid , LS6 Intake

im wondering , do you guys think a 3000 rpm stall is big enough for the 224r
or should i step down to a 220R

i was hoping with the 4.10s it would be fine

that converter should be fine.

thanks for the reply man , i see you have an even smaller stall which makes me feel better lol

people on the truck forum say it needs 3600?? maybe thats because the pickups are so much heavier

yes i understand that , im just wondering if the car will still be strong with the 3000 stall or if it will be a pig because of 600rpm

my car has a 3k stall and my cam is similar to the 228r IMO you will be fine with the 3k stall mine is perfect. but i will tell you it seems that once you put a stall in you always wanna go bigger!!

thank! already am stalled just no cam , running a stock LM7 at the moment needs more umph lol


i just came across the ability to pick up a lq4 long block for 1000 bucks...with 80k on it, do you think its worth the 1000 bucks plus headache of swapping it for the extra displacement ? being im on a budget

Only You really can answer that question ,,,,,,,,,,do a search on 6.0 builds and see real world what kinda power #'s They have and what kind of performance at the track guys are getting out of them .

If you are on a tight budget, stick with what you got and mod later when you can afford it.

A tad larger converter would be best... But the 3000 will work fine with a 224.

turns out i actually have a 3200 stall lol , anyway i talked with the guys at TSP and they felt the torquer v2 would be a good choice for the 5.3l in an fbody , so i went ahead and picked it up

will be starting the install this week

will do


im just really hoping the cam isnt to big for the little 5.3l

i went with what they told me at TSP but i dont want it to be slower than it is now lol , Im just looking to make 350-360 whp with the cam , ls6 intake , longtubes, ory and slp lid , for a fun street cruiser

Torquer 2 is definitely on the larger side for the 5.3, but you do have the added benefit of running it in a lighter car, and matched up with the 3200 converter Im sure you'll have a blast with it. Give us a call if you have any other questions or concerns.
