Growing up doesn't have to suck

[iamdub]

That’s great to hear! I’m hoping to get this thing to feel a little closer to my Yukon. After getting out of it and in the avalanche, I feel like I’m driving my s10. So slooow.

question...what’s your thoughts on the cam I already bought in a 6.2? Will it do better or worse than in the 5.3? I haven’t fully committed to the 6.2, even though it’s a deal I’m struggling to pass up. I would like to keep the “stock” idle. I don’t know if cubic inches help or hinder that cam. I haven’t seen any videos with that one in a larger engine. 99% are 5.3

I’m pumped and happy for you that you got it back on the road. It sounds like a beast now

Bottom line is "cubes eat duration". So, you'll get less of a gain out of that cam in a 6.2 as you would in a 5.3. Sure, it'll be more than stock, but not as effective. On the flip side, you're already starting out with something like 80HP/60TQ more with the 6.2, so I'd go that route, cammed or not. You haven't seen any videos for that cam in a 6.2 because it was designed for the 5.3. I'm sure there's a 6.2 version of it and I'd bet the cam makers took that 5.3 cam and increased the duration around 17% as their starting point to design a 6.2 cam. My cam's chop could've been almost 100% smoothed out with the tune, but I wanted the opposite.

Thank you! I'm just glad be mobile again. I'm looking for reasons to drive now. This afternoon, I was happy to find that my mower needed gas and both of my jugs were empty so I had to run up to the gas station. It's still just a 5.3 with the lowly 4L60E, but I'll never have an AFM failure and it sounds really cool now. lol

Sounds sick

Thank ya! I'm still working on the sound. Losing those cats made it WAY louder.

Thanks, bro

Yeah, rust is why I could NEVER live in a salty area. I never even have to spray anything with oil before removing a bolt or nut. I'm spoiled!
