Help choosing cam for 5.3 s10
Help choosing cam for 5.3 s10 Im in the process of installing a FLT lvl4 trans with a Yank ss3600 into my 5.3 s10. I was thinking it would be the right time to install my cam as well. The truck is a reg. cab weighing about 3500lbs with me in it. The setup includes:
>Ls6 intake manifold, CAI, ported TB
>Sanderson shorties, X-pipe, dualindualout muffler(no cats)
>3.42 gears, A.R. Irocs 18"x8", Nitto555(275/40/18)(rear),
>50,75 or 100 dry shot
I was looking into the TR-220/220 112 because of the great numbers and ETs that 5.3s are putting out with this cam, but Im now looking into a custom grind to make sure it will match my setup and make the most power without going over board for a daily diver.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I run a 224 on 114 in my DD 5.3l (2003 ext.cab S10) and it runs well. If you can get the heads milled or pick up some 799's that would be great for power output. With the LS6 intake and a 224 you can expect about 320-330 to the tires. With a set of 799's and a little bump in compression this number is usually about 360-370whp.
