Could always do the budget truck motor it's the 5.3liter chevvy:

Lots of torque but it's like <280whp or something meh...

I always thought this one was badass (ls1):

LSx Cams are cheap, which will take care of that 280whp problem real quick.

Horsepower is how hard you hit the wall, torque is how far you take it with you. Which would you prefer to have? lol

[racepar1]

Torque > horsepower every day of the week and twice on sunday!

[jmauld]

How about adding a cam and getting more horsepower AND torque?

[a_ahmed]

Whaaa? That's from a 5.3? Are you sure?

[jmauld]

No, but the cams are all interchangeable. Same engine, slightly less displacement.

no i meant that dyno that looked more like an ls1 or ls2 or something... I was like woah if that's the 5.3

It is an LS1 dyno, but that same cam would have a similar effect on the 5.3L While you wouldn't hit the same peak numbers you can expect about the same gains.

What I'm really trying to show is that you can get both HP and TQ gains by switching the cam.

What cam is that exactly?

What cam is that exactly?

Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"TR 224-112" - 224/224 .563/.563 112 LSA

That's a pretty badass cam. How does it idle? What gas does it run on? Any other tuning done? That's pretty insane... I guess a fast intake would net a good 40whp or something crazy like that on on that if it's only a cam and everything else stock (that cam specifically) thats massive gains and absolutely insane... Anyways I'm definitely set on an ls1 in the future no doubt....
