Another Cam Question Got a 2003 GMC 1500 that I swapped to a 6.0 from the same year Suburban, I tow a 5500 lbs camper with it a few times a year but otherwise it's a daily driver. With the 3.73 I'm running 3k at 70mph in 3rd, I'm running a beefed up 4L60 and would like to be able to pull in OD which it sorta will now but struggles. I can at present afford a good cam and spring kit, suggestions???

. Sum-8718 has the same intake closing point as the Lq9 but opens up the other three valve events, .500 lift, and increases lobe intensity for big torque and power gains at no expense to idle quality or tune and will often pick up fuel mileage because the transmission is no longer dropping a gear up hills. This particular cam functions fine with stock springs, but if yours are worn, the LS6 springs are a great match and only cost another $80. It increases the power to the wheels by extending the rev range at nearly zero expense to longevity of the motor overallLast edited by Summitracing; Mar 14, 2019 at 12:34 AM.

or you could call Summit Racing that created the first truly dedicated Ls cam for towing in late 2018

Thank you for the opportunity. The Pro LS cam rollout has been a great project for us. Invigorating for the whole company actually.
