Sounds amazing! Thanks for the before and after videos. Stock LS1 right? Did you do the oil pump and timing chain too? Did the heads come off to fly cut the pistons or did it just fit right in?
I was test driving a 2008 Lexus LS460 a few weeks ago, and the transmission shifted so slowly that when I floored it at 40 mph, I was able to count 2 full seconds before it found the gear it was supposed to be in.
This statement is true. I have since then gone though the transmission in this video cause it failed. The 3600 PATC stall converter came apart internally which stopped spinning the pump which then killed the transmission. I now have a new trans with a Circle D 2800 stall and it shifts alot better
Did it hurt the reliability of the engine because my ls3 has about 120k miles and I want to put a cam in it but I don't want to hurt the reliability of the engine
Some old school guys are probably going to say "if you do it right you won't hurt it" but the truth is you're putting alot more stress on your valvetrain. Making valves open up further for longer periods of time, stiffer valve springs put more stress on rocker arms and lifters. I don't daily this so it has been okay so far but if you're worried about reliability then I high suggest doing it "the right way". This consists of upgrading oil pump, replacment of Timing chain and sprockets, replacement of Lifters, trunnion upgrade. Along with the expected upgrade of valve springs and Pushrods
This cam was made for an LS1 so I am not sure what you would need. If you contact TSP I am sure they can tell you everything you'll need to use it in your 5.3. TSP on their web site states that this cam requires atleast PAC 1219 vale springs, 2800+ stall converter on automatics and a tune
Did you change lifters as well or are they still original? I just bought this cam for my ls2 gto and am contemplating lifters or waiting until I do heads eventually.
@@lsxjosh4217 I ended up waiting for heads to change the lifters. Car runs great, got about 8k miles on her since the swap. Made 490whp 421wtq. Lifters will be done with the heads in early 2021.
It's an automatic so I can't really lug it down too much without it shifting down but there was no sacrifice of bottom end torque or power since its a mid size cam with a 111LSA. The tighter LSA it has allowed the power band to start lower and gives it a heavier idle
@@APMotorsports0 ok. I’m 16 and have been saving my money to LS swap my truck. Have a LQ4 just looking for a cam. Just trying to learn everything I can about cams ( intake , exhaust, LSA , single vs dual duration cams , etc ) before I decide on one. I appreciate the info ! Sounds like a good cam
@@APMotorsports0 I find the FTI 3000 stall in my C6 pretty liveable. It'll foot brake to like 2400. It feels like more than 3000 when playing around so it's a great middle ground.
I'm sorry I forgot this video was taken a while ago. During this video it has a PATC 3600 stall. My trans went out and while I was in there I changed it to a Circle D 2800
I know it's been 2 years but I will add to this. I am in need of larger Injectors now because I was troubleshooting as to why it was shifting at 6000rpms and not 6600rpms like TSP suggest. Thinking it was a tuning issue I went to see if my fuel system could handle more rpms before I re tune it. My Injectors hit 100% duty cycle at 4400rpms. FIC suggest 36lb Injectors for this set up
Thats what we need more of actual before and after results and less opinions! Awesome video!!
This video was perfect
I was expecting like 80 tops but, dude...
you sent it
Your car is a beast!
Great job on the comparison
Goddamn! 5,600 rpm on stock and about 6,500 on tsp
I love this video no bs
Sounds amazing! Thanks for the before and after videos. Stock LS1 right? Did you do the oil pump and timing chain too? Did the heads come off to fly cut the pistons or did it just fit right in?
Judging by the oil pressure at wot for after the cam he didn't do a pump
I just replaced cam, pushrods and valve springs. Did not replace oil pump, timing gears/chain or the lifters. Heads stayed on
Probably shoulda opted to do that oil pump while you were in there. Solid video tho
Wow that thing needs some trans work. I don’t think I’ve ever seen any trans shift that slow
No joke lol thing is dropping power and speed cuz the shift is so slow
Ngl i thought it looked slower after the cam i think the trans or converter is dying

That shit is wicked
Great video
Man! I felt like I was in the car with you. 😂 She sounds badazz
Noice!
That's badass
You still got stock stall converter ? And how much did it cost you to tune it , btw sounds good
Kevin I have a 3600 stall converter and it’s usually about 300$ to tune a vehicle

What other upgrades do you have? I have a stock 5.3 and want to get the bald eagle cam but what all will i need to do so?

When you bump shift it from a roll do you put it all the way down to 1 then go to 2 then 3 or just go from 3 to D
Alex Diaz I got 2 to 3. Car has zero traction in 1st and I haven’t taken it somewhere yet to get WOT in 4th yet
Would you recommend this cam? Or do you wish you got a different cam. Thanks
It's got a pretty broad power band. The 111 LSA really helps with that
Thats actually fast
Hell yeah. Roll Tide!
Hey Alex what exhaust you running sounds like something i need thanks man.
I am using TSP true dual exhaust
Did you change lifters as well or are they still original? I just bought this cam for my ls2 gto and am contemplating lifters or waiting until I do heads eventually.
They are the original lifters. Motor has 125k miles on it
@@APMotorsports0 thanks man. I feel better about it then. Mine has 86k on it. I'll save lifters for when I go for heads too.
Brandon lovell i would change the lifters that would suck if ur stock lifters some how fail and screw up the new cam
@@lsxjosh4217 I ended up waiting for heads to change the lifters. Car runs great, got about 8k miles on her since the swap. Made 490whp 421wtq. Lifters will be done with the heads in early 2021.
@TheBlovell3394 did you wind up upgrading the heads? I saw your post about this cam on ls1gto. Any regrets? Did you swap timing chain and oil pump?
How was the low end torque and power ? Did you feel a difference ?

Nice
So it's more straightable with the 2800 or 3600 stall
2800
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Your oil pressure looks like its barely enough at high rpms. 10psi per 1000rpm
What exhaust setup are you running ?
Long tube headers and TSP true dual exhaust
What kind of power gains did you see from this cam?
unfortunately I don't know because I have never been on a dyno. TSP predicts about 50-60hp
@@APMotorsports0 thank you
How did it do with the 2800 stall
It's doing great. My 60 foot isnt as good cause it foot brakes to about 1800-2000 now but it's much more streetable
@@APMotorsports0 Did you take it to the track before and after the cam? What part of Alabama are you in? I'm in Montgomery
@@chesspiece81 I never took it to the track before so unfortunately I did not get any data for that. This was when I lived near Mobile area
@@APMotorsports0 I find the FTI 3000 stall in my C6 pretty liveable. It'll foot brake to like 2400. It feels like more than 3000 when playing around so it's a great middle ground.
Did your engine blow up after the limiter hit?
That's why the limiter is there
LOL, this isn't Need for Speed drag racing.
What size stall
Circle D 2800
I'm sorry I forgot this video was taken a while ago. During this video it has a PATC 3600 stall. My trans went out and while I was in there I changed it to a Circle D 2800
How much hurspurs
No idea unfortunate cause I have never been on a dyno but TSP estimates only about an added 55rwhp from the cam
Cam the truck next! Lol
what size injectors do you run?
Still running stock injectors
I know it's been 2 years but I will add to this. I am in need of larger Injectors now because I was troubleshooting as to why it was shifting at 6000rpms and not 6600rpms like TSP suggest.
