What did you do to your truck today?

Attempted to race an RCSB Colorado with BC plates... And a 6.2

That little mofo was FAST.

I love my cam, the Tahoe still pulls hard even without the Maggie!

What cam did you say I should slap in my Tahoe???

In all honesty, I would go with the one I have in mine (I think you have the 5.3). It is as great DD cam, and will work fantastic if you go FI. It is a CompCam 206/212 115LSA.

I've been considering it! Thanks!

What else would I need to swap?

You need a MINIMUM of new lifters along with the cam. I'd do pushrods and new rockers if you want to do things right...

Even better... find a low mile 5.3 or 6.0 and do it!

On the LS based engines, neither of those seem to be necessary. The only guys I know of that have swapped out lifters are guys who were getting rid of AFM (on the GEN IV engines), and I've never heard of anyone swapping replacing OEM rockers with OEM, and the aftermarket rockers are a waste of money for the amount of power you gain.

Lifters are always necessary when swapping our cams. Each lifter wears into a particular cam... Especially important when an engine has some miles. The rollers are less prone to wear though...

With a roller cam, you don't "need" new lifters. One would have to remove the head to get to the lifters as well. Didn't replace lifters on my Tahoe or Justin's truck with the cams and blowers on there. This time around, since Justin removed the head he did change the lifters.

One has to remember that a 1 day job now becomes a 2-3 job as well.

EDIT: sorry to beat on a dead horse.

I put another $20.00 dollars of gas in it.

Tahoe might be getting her last bath from me tomorrow, could be gone by the beginning of next week....it's been real Pavement Princess .

Finished putting most of the interior back in. Only items out are the overhead console and driver's side A-pillar cover. Got the AFR gauge connected and tested, just waiting on the mount which is at home. Oh and that pesky Box 2 from Maggie.

It's on its way.

Not a problem at all. We're always glad to hear your take!
