That sir is what I called you on.
You are hearing what I am not saying.I never called it crap. The lobes are dated and yes so is a single pattern cam. You didnt "call" me on anything. If someone else touted a similar cam from another company I would say the same.

I would give my guy a call for a custom grind cam. He just made 1400 horses our a procharger 5.3 using trickflow as cast heads. O that's brian tooley. Enough said

Ive got tea/tfs 220 heads with a Brian tooley cam. Will know what it lays down in a few weeks. Brian has done alot of R&D on trickflows so that's why I chose him to spec me a custom cam.

^^^ It's go be a killer. It's like if brian spec the cam. Your opponent *** is toast. What separates brian tooley from everybody else on his cams. He really understands heads and what each type of cylinder head likes. Plus he does heads in house.

Since you were already thinking about TSP's stuff you can call them and I'm sure they will walk you through it. Ask about a custom cam & give them all of your details. As far as heads, on a 5.3, I'd go with their stage 2.5 5.3 heads. Huge bang for the buck!
No, he's just giving his opinion and not all opinions are going to seem positive to everyone. We're a dealer for TSP/PRC cylinder heads, springs and exhausts and their products are great.

Produced 496/530 or somewhere near that. Engine in sig. All about the heads!!! And TFS are great heads!
this might be a stupid question, but when it comes to sensors what all does the 5.3 need to start? like the crank sensor obviously but what else? and is it worth doing a cam swap in a 5.3 that has 200,000 miles on it? and what cam would be best for a cam only Silverado
