HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT LS CAM-STOCK vs TRUCK vs PERFORMANCE CAMS (DIY CAMS, DYNO & HOW TO) 

Now does it need springs ? And new rockers ?

What springs and rockers did it have before the cam swap , where the rocker trunnions upgraded ?

@@privatedata665 stock every thing

Thats what he says

My thoughts exactly 😂

Send him one.

Love my 256 voodoo in my mopar 383...awesome cam!!

Super easy to install. Did it on mine in a weekend. Contact me if you want assistance.

Nope id go with comp cam or even better texas speed

I’d run, summit, tick, and Texas speed before btr.. hell I’d find an old lunati voodoo cam first.

@@matt6951 Why?

@@matt6951 Or even an Elgin P1839 or P1840. The money saved will pay for the valve springs.

So what’s the reason yall dont like BTR stuff? Dont throw shade without giving some reasons.

These manufacturers really got the stages dialed in. I am running a stage 4 and it's just right for a truck that still sees work. I think if your truck is race only, you need to go slightly bigger than typical truck cam. Because with my stage 4 I don't feel like I lost any low end at all, I could afford to go larger. Especially if I stop hauling around a bunch of tools and materials. But this is with 4.10s and I will be switching to 3.73 soon so we will see how I feel about low end. Right now it hates the back tires anywhere under 30mph so I'd be happy to lose some low end lol

Is the truck Norris cam available for purchase allready?

@@rustinpenner5661 it is currently listed on the BTR website?

@@derrelcarter9401 I cudnt find it last week

@@rustinpenner5661 it was listed last night when I looked

@@derrelcarter9401 sweet! I gotta check it out!

I’d suggest a turbo.

@@matt6951 If I had another vehicle to drive it would already be turboed.😁😁

@@matt6951 That's what I'm in the process of doing.

Yeah I agree, low end power is the #1 if you're building to tow. You'd be looking at boost or more displacement rather than the biggest cam you can shove into your engine

get the truck norris

What will you be doing with the truck?

@@swappedoutZ71 it's actually going into my 1958 Edsel, it dropped a valve a couple months ago so I mounted an lq4 and 4l80 in it and planning on building both this winter and eventually plan on putting a lsa blower on it but that's a few years down the road!

@@rb002680 well don't waste money in ported 706s if you don't have them already, get the rec port truck heads or something. Asking because I ran 706s on a 6.0 and while it was a torque monster it lacked up top. But I was on unported heads and stock intake. I now have ported 243s and ported tbss manifold. It's still a torque monster, and faster up top now too lol

@@swappedoutZ71 that was my plan originally but I'm also planning on selling my daily and replacing it with a 2010+ silverado so figured when I go supercharged I'll put the 706 heads on the truck to increase compression and low end torque and put the rec port heads on the edsel

@@rb002680 sounds like a well thought out plan to me lol. Get bigger valves in the 706s. The 6.0 will love those heads

never heard of the scdp cam

stock valves-only cam and springs

Triple disc or nothing. For a stage 4, 3200 minimum in my opinion. Personally I'm running a stage 4 on a 4k and it's nuts from a dig

@@swappedoutZ71 That's pretty much exactly what I have decided on. Fortunately, I didn't buy the one off of my buddy, and have the money to get a proper one.

Even the cam designer at Comp said it was a marketing thing only, they are a terrible idea from start to finish for performance. ;) And Comp isn't exactly in the game of high end cams as it it, their "new" LST technology has been around for a long time, but they'll make the power that the dyno says and that might be enough after all. :)

"I want torque at low rpm at highway speeds or 55 to 70 mph in 4th gear." Everything comes with a compromise. What you want could only be achieved by increasing engine stroke/adding forced induction or doing a Cummin's swap, otherwise you're limited to changing your gears to match you're desired torque at given RPMs. But your limited use of your vehicle doesn't mean everyone else is going to be using their truck or these truck engines in the same way. There are so many different uses it's baffling that you "never understood why you want any of those, especially in a truck.", I think you need to get more exposure in the world. Not everyone uses a truck for low RPM or towing and not everyone is using these "truck engines" in a truck application. I find that, as a light duty truck, my '96 Ram 1/2 ton with 5.2L has a great blend of low end torque and midrange with the 3.5:1 gears and the same stock crappy 4 spd auto. It only has 31's though. But I have no other uses for that truck other than to haul stuff from Lowe's. My K5 Blazer on the other hand isn't primarily intended for the same application and is more of a weekend warrior that would be more fun with another 100hp on the top end for the 5.3 LS that's in it.

ASK THE CONVERTER COMPANY-OR CHECK ON LINE WITH ANY OF THE LS CROWD

hard to gain 50 lb-ft down low on an ls application with a cam

@@richardholdener1727 oh, I know, just saying that as an example.

I’d Probably be better off with a “stage 2” PD cam and a LSA anyway.

@@richardholdener1727 can you do 1 on the btr truck Norris cam

Not yet! no vvt gen 4

Make one

stage 3 truck is not good with stock converter-try a smaller cam

IT IS

boost any of these curves

you will be happy with a stage 1 cam and 2400 stall on a 4.8l

@@richardholdener1727 awesome! Thank you, sir!

that just bolts on

CAMS DON'T ADD (MUCH IF ANY) POWER AT 2000 RPM

Nope, it may burn a wee bit more oil but that’s bout it.

not a problem

it would need to be tuned if you add a cam (even with stock ecu), I just show you what you get if you tune it properly with a stock ecu

@@richardholdener1727 OK, so no matter what, there's no drop in cam to use? The BTR NSR cams advertise no springs, tune, or converter. Or they used to. Just wanting a little more out of my stock 285,000 mile daily pickup without the huge investment.

You talking about the V2 truck cams?

@@chadvalliere8697 He tested the V2 Truck Cams, all 3 stages. But the Truck Torque cam he tested another time was the first version. I would like to see a comparo of the revised Truck Torque cam compared to the Stage 1 V2 Truck Cam on the same engine for an apples to apples test.

I tested every V2 also

Thanks Richard. I'll check again for the later Torque cam test.

i have a cam that would work well

@@richardholdener1727 what do you have?

yes

I have a 2001 Silverado with stock 5.3 and tune and am going to go with the btr stage 2 cam mainly because I plan on one day putting a 6.0 in it and can use the stage 2 cam in it when I swap it in. Otherwise I would just go with the stage 1 cam. Oh, and I built my 4L60e trans with all the upgrades and also put the trailblazer 4.2 torque converter in it which gives me about 2600 stall or so behind this little 5.3 motor. The extra stall makes a pretty big difference on these motors for sure. Mine is a 4x4 that I tow with so not wanting to go too crazy on stall or cam. For now, just going to the stage 2 cam with springs and maybe a tbss intake if I can find a used one for the right price.

the 220 cam works-it will just be softer down low than the stock cam

ported heads help

CAMS, SPRINGS AND BIGGER BORE WITH NEW PISTONS

@@richardholdener1727 Awesome thank you very much!

lots of those videos up

Where at?

@@rustinpenner5661 local dealer

please watch how to max your 6.0l video

i tested all of the comp cams

I have directly compared those cams-on cath and rec port heads

@@richardholdener1727 I’d love to see your findings on that if there isent already a vid

those work too

@@richardholdener1727 ....for sure. And if a physical fitment issue should pop up, I have a big hammer that’s perfect for fine tuning as needed 😱.

I wrote that before you mentioned it lol

already seen the dyno data

Just look at the specs he gives out for these BTR cams; Duration, Lift and LSA(lobe seperation angle) Compare the BTR stage cams spec on this video to the SR cams and you'll have an idea of what the HP those summit racing makes. Usually stages on racing parts are just dumbed down ways of telling one part is "better" than the other. Im a dumby myself and could be wrong about this but, i try.😅

don't be concerned about max piston speed, it's not relevant to your motor

I'v tested both

@@richardholdener1727 have you tried the 4.8 stage 2 turbo cam?

@@richardholdener1727 do you have the numbers on the V2 cams? I'm sure it's not a big difference would like to see if they improved from V1 to V2.

Long duration and low lift....but, it does fit without piston notching in LS3 flat tops....Like a Corvette has....It's used in the GMPP 525HP motor.

MILD CAM, HEADERS, TUNE,

no-only with stock 706 heads
