That's what I want. Lots of torque everywhere and I don't mind giving up a little top end power. I want to road race the car (suspension is finally done) and researching the cam/heads/headers combo I will eventually pick out.

Like the OP, I want something easy on the valvetrain and is basically put it in/on and forget about it. I'll have other places I need to worry about (as well as the wife getting pissed... )

In your set-up I'd honestly do the Stage 2 TorqueMAX cam. It has a very broad power curve.

Here is a LS1 with TEA Stage 2 243's, Fast92/95 and the SNS Stage 2 on a Mustang Dyno:

I believe this customer also leaned his AFR out and put down 454rwhp and not sure on the new torque figure.

Martin,

That's a nice curve. I'll let you know when the time comes. Thanks for sharing the graph.

I have put about 40 miles on my 5.3 with the smallest thumper cam. I can say, I gave it a 1/2 throttle burst at 30mph and my truck went sideways. The sound is great and I have not had any trouble yet. I have to fix a few things and then I will be off to the dyno to get some numbers.

Keep us updated on the dyno numbers. Anything else modded on the 5.3 or just cam swap?

That will be nice to see what power it makes, without ported heads driving up the numbers.

There you go Martin posting graphs of the cam I want, trying to tempt me.

Rabid, your set-up should run hard post up some video of it. I think built n/a 5.3's have a distinct sound.
