Thank you.

Aside from the DOD delete did you have to tune for the cam?
Oh yeah, it is a bit of a bear to get the idle tuning perfect, not at all possible for a rookie tuner. You will have to work with someone that does mail order tunes (I dont) or find a qualified local place to dial it in for ya.

I figured as much. I want to make the tune worth it so I'm planning to buy Headers and a CAI. I found someone local that tunes Corvettes to Trucks and he said he can do mine so fingers crossed.

You don't happen to have a build thread do you. I don't want to keep bugging you with all these questions lol.

The next question I have is what springs, push rods and lifters did you use?

That cam with long tubes and a good tune will blow your mind. The closest way I can describe it is to a bolt on base boost magnacharger or whipple kit. It is an easy extra 100 hp, and the power is everywhere like a screw charger.

One other thing I forgot to mention. If you go with the tsp cam, email them and get the vvt settings for the cam for your tuner to input. They are just plug and play, and are maximized on the dyno to make the best torque and best hp. You can also pm me for the settings in a pinch, but they will be happy to help you out.

I don't have a build thread, I do this for a living. Have done many of this combo over the years, and have tuned thousands of vehciles overall. All my customers shit themselves at the results with this combo. Just get the entire package with springs and pushrods and gaskets and everything at once. Don't mean to sound like an employee for tsp, but they have the packaging down. They will set you up with the spring kit, dod delete, all gaskets and bolts you need. Just tell them what you are doing.

You're making me want to do this job in my '07 now. Sounds like a great solution.

The Texas Speed cam is what I was originally looking at but I don’t like that they will only sell it on a kit. I don't really like PAC springs and wanted to use PSI springs and they weren't willing to sell the cam by it self even when I called. When the AFM failed on my Yukon, I already had some of the pieces and also didn't need the whole kit. The price is in line for what you get at least.

Thank you for your help. I think I’m going to order everything tonight and hope to have it soon
