Hypothetical question... So let's say you got a set of stock LS1 heads laying around. And a 5.3L truck in the driveway that needs a bit more towing power <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
If one were to have the heads "worked on", what cam would you pick to go w/ the heads on a 5.3L. Keep in mind there's an ATI in the near future for this motor. Still deciding P1SC or D1 <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
LT's are already on the way, and the exhaust is done already.
Of course this is all hypothetical <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Hypothetical question... LS6
Cheap, split pattern should work well with blower. Relatively low lift so spring life should be good even with blower (and possibly upgrade to 918s).
If you're gonna tow your car with it, you dont wanna go to radical, and less cubes as well so its going to have to "look" small.

Re: Hypothetical question... hmmm
a little lope might be nice too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
would it be too much to ask, and i know it prolly is, to have a cam i can get away with in this setup and possibly a nice stroker 6.0L?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
something in the <220° range, maybe on a 114 and mid .500 too radical?

Re: Hypothetical question... I would think if you're going to tow with it, lope would be a bad thing. Anytime I hear lope, I always think of the powerband moving on up in the RPM's, and if this is a towing vehicle, you want a relativly flat torque/hp curve. Just my .02
