    thats a large cam for a 5.3. id go smaller, but if you do decide to buy that one get at least a 3600 stall.

    Makes me wish I would have gone a little bit bigger on the intake side.

    Chris @ Circle D his stalls drive around 1800-2K and between 2200-2500 on the footbrake depending on Power level and Gear ratio... They Flash around 3000@ WOT .... on the Nitrous it would flash 4000.... might sound like alot to some of you "street" guys but thats just a quick flash in rpms that throws the engine up in power and starts to pull the truck !... they are 350.00 ish bucks and work great for the guys that have never had a stall.... they work well even with near stock lock up settings so its really just a swap out with the stock units you will see very little sacrafice with MPG.. Driveability and durability
