Cam and TC going in this week Long time viewer, first time post. I have a 2008 GMC Sierra, Extended cab,4x4, 2500hd with a 6.0 engine. While almost all have the LY6 engine with VVT, this engine does not have it. Just a normal 6.0. No displacement on demand or VVT.
Just started having some work done to my truck. Three weeks ago I had the following done: CAI, ported the throttle body, PaceSetter long tube headers, cat delete and EFI Live street tuned.
This week I'm having a cam and torque converter put in. The torque converter will have a 2800 stall and the cam specs are: 224/230 .553/.547 111+2.
I'm out of my element when it comes to cams. Don't know what to expect as far as horsepower from the cam install. The engine comes from the factory rated at 350 horsepower. I'd like to get the truck up to around 500 with no power adders (nos, supercharger, turbo). Wondering how close I'll be to that after this work is done and what else it might take to get me to the 500 mark.
All the work has and is being done by Chad at CBI Streetcars.

A quality cam and longtube header install can be worth around an honest 100 horsepower in these motors , because of their quality stock heads , in the small blocks of older days 1/2 that would have been exceptional . I think you will be happy with the results , forget about chaseing numbers .
