did you run the cam in,its really not good for the cam,being the high spring pressure and low engine speed,make you do exactly what the cam manufacturer suggest,you have a nice investment,good luck with it.
Hey I was looking into Comp's LSR cams for my 5.3L. Anyway the one I was looking at was this: 54-455-11 215/223 .604/.610 112LSA
Its got headers, LS1 type intake mainfold, and some other random stuff done to it, would I just need Comp 918 springs, hardened push rods, and an injector upgrade to run this cam in it? The 5.3L is installed in a 69' C-10
I love that cam. 918s will work, but the 926s are recommended according to the catalog. They make .080" & .105" wall pushrods, get .105" wall pushrods. Im also running FAST injectors. FAST make a truck intake, 102mm LSXRT. And they just put out the car version for cathedral port too, LSXR for LS1s.
im doing a 2003 blazer. i have a few questions about you heads, drive by wire and your computer stuff if you could give me a call at 301 481 2025 thanks. thomas
Mine has the Silverado oil pan that comes on basically everything(4.8L/5.3L/6.0L). Im also running transdapt mounts. Although I would run currentperformance mounts if I could do it all over again. THey sit the engine lower and farther back.
Did 3 quick pulls just so I could get AFRs close. Ended up with a bad plug wire the first couple. Made something like 410rwhp. Just threw out 28 degrees of timing. At this point Im just enjoying driving it. Ill start tuning it soon!! I just setup everything for EFILive tonight!!
I took part number 146-456-11 (single bolt core LS3 cam) and had them grind it onto a classic three bolt LS1 style core instead. So you have to custom order it, which they do for free.
I love your truck! I had a red 2002 4.3 5-speed ZQ8 that looked just like it. I ordered it loaded with all options including the buckets. I would have loved to put in a LS2. I miss that truck. :-(
