Need suggestions on cam 5.3
Need suggestions on cam 5.3 I know theres a million threads i've read alot of them. I'm putting a 5.3 in a 2000 camaro. I'll give some of the specs we plan on. I'm not sure what cam to go with, I want one with a good lope but still good driveability. Thanks guys.
Plans:
5.3 Stock Internals
Stock Heads
Long Tube Headers
LS6 intake
Patriot Gold valve springs
4l60e with 3000 or 3200 stall-----Bigger or smaller stall?
We had a couple cams in mind.
Texas Speed 224R 224/224 .581"/.581" Camshaft 112lsa
GM LS1 Hot Cam Kit - 218/227 .525/.525 112 LSA
I have a TSP Torquer v2 cam but we're thinking its too big so i'll have it for sale in the next few days. Let me hear some opinions.

Those two cams should act very similar (peaks carry, etc), assuming the hot cam is 2* retarded that is. Power curves will follow what an LS1s would they'll just be lower. The 224 will probably make slightly more as its prolly on more radical lobes. Idk the specs on the v2. Idk how the smaller bore will affect vacuum and driveability so I'll let someone else chime in on that
