I got a 04 tahoe 5.3 with a stage 3 cam, 3k stall, volant intake, efans, 3.42s, 93 octane tune, 22s and get 11.5 mpg

[@chrishansen7004]

Them 3.42’s with 22’s is killing your mileage. These trucks get better mileage with 4.10’s in my experience

[@miguelvega7769]

Watching that mpg go up and down is way to funny each time you get on the gas 😂😂😂

A tip have the truck tuned with the tires you run on. You need that load to hit those cells during the road tune😉

[@Titoo.1]

I think it’s very hard for a cam to make a 5.3 hard to daily, especially such a small cam like the chopacabra, and then with tires that aren’t too big like 35s I feel like it makes the truck a really good daily especially cause you can drive without thinking about crappy roads

[@brandonwells3673]

This video makes me feel a little better. I've got a project truck going on that will be my daily driver when it's done, with a similar setup. It's an Avalance 4×4 with a 5.3 LM7 with a TSP 220R 600/600 cam on a 112 LSA, with 1 3/4" TSP LT Headers, PRC ported/polished 799 heads milled .025, a Yank 3000 stall converter, and 4.56 gears on a 6" lift with 35s. I've daily driven the truck for 8 years on the stock motor and stock gears with the lift, and I was excited to beef it up, but a little nervous that it'd hurt the drivability. This video helps.

[@kesslerchaidez1962]

That's the mpg I get with a stock 5.3 with tune on 35s time to cam the truck !

[@StickShiftMuscle]

When I cam swap my auto cars. I always add a bad ass converter 3000 stall and up. And the cam duration is always 230s and up. That with a good tune and 411/456 gears is a blast. I never ever picked a small camshaft. Most people always want more cam and a bigger converter. 230s duration cam and a 3500 stall with 410s is where it's at.

[@unariusmiller1783]

The chomper wagon is alive😁

[@jackiegregory6167]

Hey man u need to go put a torque converter out of a 2006 trailblazer with 4.2 in it they are only like 130.00 bucks and will bolt right in and will give u around 2700-3000 stall to help get it up in rpm and plus do 4.10 gears I'm running same set up on my 2013 5.3 and it's heads cam bolt ones and love it YOU WILL NEED NEW TUNE AFTER CONVERTER

[@kbtrucks]

You should put some 4.56 gears in there. I swapped out my 3.55s for 4.56s on my lifted 03 ram1500 with 33x12.50s and I gained 2 mpgs and some torque.

[@a.boss.__09]

No yeah it helps it . I fucked up my stage 2 transmission. It has a built diff . I was supposed to tune it on my 35s but i never did . So the tranny fucked up . You need a transmission cooler also my guy

[@johntatum8492]

Truck sounds great man only thing you need is a 2800 circle d stall and 4:10 gears and it would be set.

[@isatntt]

4.44 gears would probably be better for 35s, these 4l60es already have a terrible gear ratio 4.10 is good for stock tires but on big heavy tires like this i think 4.44 is more beneficial

[@richardhintersehr9014]

35's require 4.56 gear to return it to within stock spec

[@johntatum8492]

I had a 06 with stage 3 cam 6in lift and 35s with 4:10 gears and Yukon axles it did great. But I did have a stage 2 4l60e.

[@2012Z28Camaro]

@isatnt that's a weird number. I think most chevy guys go with 4.10s, 4.30s, or 4.56s. Only other two I remember guys talking about are 4.88s or 5.30s. But I guess it all depends on if you've got the stock axles/rear under it.

Cost me $128 to fill up from little more than 1/4 tank the other day and I have to make it last almost 2 weeks. Consider yourself lucky bud.

Despite needing gears, how are you liking the same so far? Does the butt dyno notice a big power gain? It made some solid numbers for an old 5.3. I’ve been trying to sort out a cam for my z71 Tahoe. I was looking into the tsp stage 2 low lift, but this one sounds pretty wicked

[@TheyCallMeNoobieButItsNewBa]

4:50 I think that’s just the motor showing age in my opinion. Just about every truck I’ve ever been in that old has done that at least once. It may have nothing to do with the motor but the tune like you said but just wanted to throw that out there for ya

[@sladester2]

usually it will be a tune issue after a cam swap. Easily fixed though, just needs to add a bit of rpm to the tune probably.

[@TheyCallMeNoobieButItsNewBa]

@@sladester2 yea I figured it was tune but just wanted to throw that out there. Now that I think about it it could’ve been a gearing issue maybe..???? Not sure lol

[@allenrodgers1908]

What’s up with all the stickers on the inside of the windshield?

[@Annon89]

I never did hear what your cam rpm range is. I’ve had a carbureted truck in the past that would not hardly run with stock tc. Increased stall is mainly to improve those load dynamics cause bigger cams don’t make much low end power so allowing that to increase won’t really be something you will notice but it won’t feel so sluggish when pulling away from stop signs. Allows it to spool up a little.

[@alton3053]

It’s 1200 - 6500

I have a 00 5.3 sierra and I put 373s with a true trac posi all stock aside from a flow master on 34s (275/6518) I think and I towed a Camry from cali to tn averaged 15 mpg that’s a nice rig
