You’ve honestly motivated me to cam my truck now hopefully it sounds as good as yours 💪
It only sounds good in idle wym
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
Them 3.42’s with 22’s is killing your mileage. These trucks get better mileage with 4.10’s in my experience
What tune are you running? I plan on doing a btr stage 3 cam on my 5.3 with btr rods and pistons etc I’d like to keep some fuel mileage and be able to daily driving while having a good get up and go
@@chrishansen7004 you’re right, i got better mileage with 3.90s
@@marvelboy7745 93 octane street tune and sometimes e85.
@@LsDre what would I have to change to run e85?
Bro that sierra sounds amazing ngl. Loving the vids bro!!😎🤘🏼
Thanks man 🤘🏻
Exhaust setup?@@lmfscrew
i like the pov style you should do more 🔥
Will do! 🤘🏻
Same
@@lmfscrew love POVs. Give us a sense of driving.
I agree. Great content !
@@lmfscrew what year is the truck broh ?
Watching that mpg go up and down is way to funny each time you get on the gas 😂😂😂
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.
A tip have the truck tuned with the tires you run on. You need that load to hit those cells during the road tune😉
Wouldn’t make a difference at all really. Would only know what power is actually getting put down thru heavier wheels
@@loweredyote8416 it make a huge difference. Once the computer is not working hard to fix trims. It can respond better to your maf
Love how you mentioned the ac stuff and what not. Tune does have to do with it and a lot don’t know that. I didn’t know it with my first cam and ended up buying an upgraded alternator😭😭
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
Love your build it’s Similar to my 03 z71. Watching your channel is making me want this cam even more.
The truck lives up to its name. Keep the great work man
Put a set of HiFlow Cats on the exhaust I had same set up made a huge difference on smell and hardly changed the exhaust note👍👍
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.
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
You should definitely do a gear swap, higher stall converter and re-tune
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
Ebc brakes pads/rotors will stop the 35s really well and have an amazing bite!
That's the mpg I get with a stock 5.3 with tune on 35s time to cam the truck !
Idk if you’ve done it already but you should do an equal length exhaust best sounding thing in the world for these trucks i wish i did it before i went turbo. It makes it sound like a corvette.
Definitely a tune thing mine does the same idle drops like it’s going to die then comes back to normal
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.
Oh dear lord that sounds sooo good. Good stuff! Perfect truck.
Truck sounds great man only thing you need is a 2800 circle d stall and 4:10 gears and it would be set.
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
35's require 4.56 gear to return it to within stock spec
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.
@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.
Sounds fantastic. I would love to do this to my 2000 but I'm at about 230k and not sure it's worth it.. Like the pov view as well, truly took us along for the ride! 👍🏻
if maintenance is done regularly and you don’t beat it to hell, these easily last 400k + miles
Probably worth finding a decent 5.3 around 150k miles if you’re gonna drop that kind of money
Yea, the insurance of a little less wear and tear would be more appeasing lol
Do it man don't matter honestly if you do and replace your lifters and upgrade your rocker trunion that 240 thou motor will last much longer much much longer it will outlast your tranny
@@gingerstudios5221 hi thinking about doing this to my friends stock 5.3 I know for a fact you need a tune afterwards but what would I need to do to prep the motor for this without blowing it up
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.
It’s 1200 - 6500
This is exactly what i was looking for i have a lifted silverado on 35s
I think I saw your RPO codes. "GU6" 3.42:1 Truck looks great!
You should do that same to Larry. That Truck deserves some love.
take it to a body shop and get it paint corrected should totally go back to the smoked headlight look cause the smoked look makes it pop more
You should cam Larry I have the same truck and your videos explain a lot about prices and installation your videos help a lot keep the good work up
Just put the pulsar on my ‘17 Silverado. Love it
you should try a borla atak crate muffler I bet it would sound sick 🔥
Yes sir that’s what I have in my 05 5.3
@@josephbates6850 do you think it would sound good on a Dodge Ram with 5.7 it has a catless y pipe I'm gonna get the muffler sometime in the future there's not many videos on TH-cam with this muffler on a ram.
Borla is Awesome!
I got a 224/230 stage 4 on stock converter lol and 35s too and ask your tuner for towhaul mod. When you did your 30 roll the towhaul button should’ve locked you in first. Would run out so much better to if you wasn’t shifting 5500 at wot.
They are doing my cam, headers 1 7/8, Torque converter, im putting in a high horse power drive shaft. Already has S&B intake on it. Next will be supercharger or procharger.
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
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.
@@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
@@sladester2 tune issue theres actually a airflow transition table to fix that you just have to add to it.
I only wish I could do the mods I want over here in Cali that your able to. Instead, I get expensive gas (currently $6.39 for 91, no 93 here), high crime, rampant road rage, power outages, $15 happy meals, and idiots as far as the eye can see. 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.
Sounds like you need to move lol
@@lmfscrew Trust me, I'd only love to get out of Commiefornia but can't due to the cost of everything right now. Can't even seem to put anything away for an emergency either due to Bidenflation killing off everything. Just frustrated is all really, only comfort is playing YT in the background and watching what y'all are able to do in other states. Dreaming is still free......for now.
I’ve got the stage 3 v2 BTR cam in my 09 Silverado. It’s sounds great daily’s fine but it surges through the brakes bad and I suffer from the PRND big too.
Cuz you got a fuckin stage three lol
Tune and E85 sensor and the corn will get rid of the exhaust smell
Cam sounds great, makes me want to do it to my 2015 sierra gmc 6.2, I love the makeover on your truck so far 😉
4:56’s, get rid of those heavy Mud Grapperlers and get a set of Kenda Klever RT’s.
Sound is crazy
Blackbear tuned my cammed 5.3 Avalanche and it stalls sometimes in reverse.
Ya definitely with a stock stall and if you want a lope tune there isn't probably a lot they could do but a converter is the real solution or they cam try to target a higher idle rpm maybe some more timing and less undershoot or over I don't know
@@james10739 it did it before and after install a 3000-3200 circle d stall.
my buddy has a 9 inch lift with 24's with true duals and a cam!
i have a built 5.3 im gonna throw in my 95 sierra soon, sounds great man
Put some high flow green cats and you’ll get rid of the smell your talking about. Sounds great!
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
My 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Crew cab LS Short bed did the same thing to stalling out multiple times but my truck has no catalytic converter factory header and no tune
Cam Larry dude it'll be sick
Throw some high flows on it. Should help with the smell
Tune
I'm buying a Silverado ZR2 for Overlanding. I'm thinking of Truck Norris cam. Don't care about power, just want the chopping noise and low end torque.
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
That thing screams! Love it 😂
I’m debateing doing a full rebuild on my engine with a cam but at the same time I’m thinking of ordering an already rebuilt motor stock rebuild
Literally sitting in the same truck right now! mines GM silver already did the lift & tires only 12x33s tho sitting pretty on very low miles all stock thinking of doing everything you did up here in Maine would break necks !
Hey bro im doing the dod delete rite now with tsp choppacabra rite now on a 2009 gmc sierra
You still have stock gears? That’s one thing people overlook a lot but a more aggressive gear set up with those 35s it’s a night and day difference
Can you put a link to the cam and everything else you installed on the motor? Thx
4.56 and true trak is the way to go I love mine
TrueTrac ❤️!
@@GMCJay_lly Much better than the stock G80. Blew mine out and replaced it with a TruTrack and 4:56 gears. The internal gears on the TruTrack are stronger than the clutch pack in the G80.
Can't get enough chomper content!
U need to put some music in the truck radio door speakers and subs…
I need to start driving more conservatively, if you're getting 12.5 with 35s and some performance mods. Im in a 2017 silverado and on "34.5" and a leveling kit lol and only getting 11.2mpg
*and I'm in Cali so the fuel prices hurt*
Keep up the good work 👍.
I’ve got a 04 tahoe with a 228/230 Elgin cam. Built trans with a 3200 stall and 33s. Getting 10.5 avg
The comments are gold 😂😂😂 “ ima cam my truck it sounds like a beast”☠️☠️
The chomper wagon is alive😁
That scratch definitely was not there before that I remember
Just want parts list, your truck sounds perfect. Got the tsp in the cart but not sure about other parts 🙏 Great Video and Info
Change tire’s better mpg maybe?
That’s a good looking truck man
Sweet sounding truck brother! I run 456 Gears in my truck.
I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado with the 5.3 with a stage 2 elgin sloppy truck cam with ls7 lifters and 600. Springs and other stuff on the top end on a 6’ lift and 35s with 3:73 gears and I agree even with mine some bigger gears it would really rip and I have a stock stall as well
My 01 is cammed with gears 35s and a 9 inch lift 60,000 on the build as it sits now great reliability however mpg is closer to 10
I love the sound of the engine I have the same in 6.0
But thanks for the cam follow up video on the chopocabra camshaft you rock bro
North Maine Steve
dont be afraid of putting a 2800-3200 stall in it will get in the power a lot quicker
Damn that sounds mean! Love the truck!
Thanks 🤘🏻
Do some more off road mods man! I like your content either way but it’s true all the trucks with cams or anything like that are slammed.
Not true at all 😂
@Caleb TV I "think" he meant there are no good offroad videos of dudes offroading the ls trucks after building the motor.
I'm sure he knows most offloading truck guys aren't stock.
sounds so good. Love the vids
Thank you 🤘🏻
My 02 used to do the same. It would start right up in a cold start and would stall out if someone would try to move it before letting it warm up ( I would let it warm up it was when someone else moved it cause they didn’t know what they were doing). Once it got warmed up and I turned it off at the store or whatever and I would go to start it again I would have to crank it twice for it to start. I got it retuned and starts up every time but it sometimes stalls when backing up or coming to stop in 1st gear but I think that has to do with the fact that mines drive by cable
Were you running the stock torque converter?
Bro that’s the smell of freedom!
Do you ever miss the red Sierra
Hey wanted to say thanks dude I was waiting for the follow up video I have basically the same truck 05 5.3 L33 alum. Block ext. Cab 4x4 I'm soon to buy headers already got the volant cold air kit w the scoop was dead set on the truck norris camshaft until I see your videos . I too have a set of 35 12.5 r 17 tires I'm looking to run but I already got a 4.10 1500 HD rear axle so I can change the 3.42s it came w
… they break necks. Haha!! I think the truck looks good and sounds great. Prob be a pain on the interstate… but I’d put a ton of dynamat in my next Sierra. But I got to do something ( cold air intake, exhaust, “interstate tires” ( these coopers I have are about to shake me to death… I do have traction… ) , and the trailer is about to gain some weight.
A stall would help keep it in the power range, but gears will help too
Get it tuned!!! You won't regret it!!!
You need a Stall converter. That will solve that issue.. It will be a totally different truck. RESPECTFULLY..
Them mud grapps sound so good
Did you just film at the gas station to plug upside? That was well executed!
Can you do a pov video 10-20 minutes long?
Love the vids man
I appreciate it 🤘🏻
I about to put chopacabra on my truck today, hope sound good
Where did u get the headlights looking for some for my 05 silverado I know off topic truck sounds great btw just ordered the same cam for mine
Windshield tint FTW on chomper 👌🏼
Love the truck man sounds great
Needs a stall, seems like it's over working normal take off. 2800-3000 should do the trick
😆 🤣 😂
What was that lady doing?
sweet truck!
Thanks!
What’s up with all the stickers on the inside of the windshield?
Cowl hood would look sick 🔥
Beautiful truck man. Definitely want to cam my truck too 😎😎. Just want to know what type of transmission you have in your truck.
That thing runs out good though!
