I was literally about to comment the same thing lol. As long as it had good rod bolts in it I would prolly shift at 72-7500. I got a gen 4 rotating assembly with arp rod bolts cause I plan on shifting pretty high myself
It’s the first and only cam I’ve tried honestly I got a decent deal on it and it’s done great I’ve put about 15k miles on it and I’ve been told that this cam will make it a turd down low but I can’t tell that it’s hurting me any really It pulls strong and I think if I had more power down low it would just be harder to get traction where it’s so light weight I do see a drop during gear changes from 6500rpm to 4800rpm but I can’t shift the poor nv3500 very fast or any higher rpm or it doesn’t shift at all so I’m hoping that’s got a lot to do with the rpm drop I could be wrong but either way I don’t have any plans on spending $500 to see what I’m missing vs how it runs currently It went a 8.18@89mph on draggy with a 2.15 60ft on nitto radials on the street I was impressed considering it is lowered 6” in rear almost on the shock stops lol
No problems at all They come factory behind a 4.8 in 2000-06 trucks They aren’t rated for much and the shifting isn’t very sporty but it’s been solid so far
In these earlier videos it had a 245/50/16 which I think is just under 26” nitto radials with 3.73 gears in the stock 7.5” rear end I tried a 4.11 gear and it got slower because of extra shifts so in my theory I’d like to try a 3.55 or 3.42 in it and see how it does My newer stuff has a 305/35/18 street tire I’ve yet to buy a radial for the new rims but I lose a complete second or better in 1/8mile with out a radial compound tire 😏
@white_ltz211 ooo thank you for the update. I currently got 30 inch tires and 3.73 gears with the nv3500. I feel like i have a short powerband before i have to shift. Granted i just have a 350 block.
@@Edgar-and-Wrench I’d love to run at least a 28” tire for better traction With radials and 200lbs of weights in the bed I’ve got a 8.2 on a bare street Went 7.9 at a local track with no rubber down but I can’t get a good start at all it’s feathering the pedal till top of 2nd I’ve yet on the street to do better then a 2.1 60ft and it don’t get much better if I launch in 2nd gear but my cam is way to big and is a 7500rpm power curve and the poor nv3500 won’t shift above 6500rpm or at least mine won’t lol
Not bad spinning ran decent
I picked up .40 just by pulling 2-3rd gear further into 7000rpm but it will only make the 2/3 shift maybe 2 outta 10 times at that rpm 😂
Is your nv3500 internal slave, Or external
@@walterloyd3593 it was internal from a 06 Silverado
Sounds real good but this cam on a 5.3 should peak power all the way to 7200rpms so I would shift higher

I’m limited on the old nv3500 shifting above 6700 lol
It will snatch 3rd probably 2 outta 10 times but at 6200 it’s 10 for 10 lol
@@Ls_swap211 yeah your right lol
Dayum! Sounds nasty! Outstanding work Sir
What's the trans out of?
Nv3500 from a 04 Silverado
Have you installed many cams and do you like the SS3?
It’s the first and only cam I’ve tried honestly
I got a decent deal on it and it’s done great
I’ve put about 15k miles on it and I’ve been told that this cam will make it a turd down low but I can’t tell that it’s hurting me any really
It pulls strong and I think if I had more power down low it would just be harder to get traction where it’s so light weight
I do see a drop during gear changes from 6500rpm to 4800rpm but I can’t shift the poor nv3500 very fast or any higher rpm or it doesn’t shift at all so I’m hoping that’s got a lot to do with the rpm drop
I could be wrong but either way I don’t have any plans on spending $500 to see what I’m missing vs how it runs currently
It went a 8.18@89mph on draggy with a 2.15 60ft on nitto radials on the street
I was impressed considering it is lowered 6” in rear almost on the shock stops lol
How did you bolt an nv3500 to an ls 5.3, Have you had any problems so far
No problems at all
They come factory behind a 4.8 in 2000-06 trucks
They aren’t rated for much and the shifting isn’t very sporty but it’s been solid so far
Did this cam work with factory 5.3 no pistons or anything
Yea I’m still running a stock lm7 pistons
How much power does it make
I’d be lucky if it makes 360-370whp considering I don’t have longtube headers on it
What gears do you have in the rear end and tire size?
In these earlier videos it had a 245/50/16 which I think is just under 26” nitto radials with 3.73 gears in the stock 7.5” rear end
I tried a 4.11 gear and it got slower because of extra shifts so in my theory I’d like to try a 3.55 or 3.42 in it and see how it does
