Installing a TSP 216/220 Cam In My 5.3 GMC Sierra

Installing a TSP 216/220 Cam In My 5.3 GMC Sierra

Today, I finally install a camshaft in my truck. It’s a Texas Speed & Performance Stage 3 “Low Lift” Truck Cam and LS6 valve springs that TSP included.
.550″/.550″ 216/220@.050″ on a 112 LSA.

Honestly, it was pretty straight forward. Start to finish was about 7 hours, but I had to do some running around that took up a lot of time too. If I started with everything I needed from the beginning, it probably would’ve only taken 4-5 hours.

Joseph Brogna says:

Why do you need to put those 2 rods in that slot before you pull the cam? Im doing a can soon on my 08. What do you recommend using?

Connor Kenny says:

get some electric fans on there

Daddy Darth says:

Are you running the stock injectors for this cam?

mike west says:

you didn't lube the new camshaft

Isaiah winslow says:

Your link is to a 1 bolt not a 3 bolt cam

Gavin Booshu says:

Hp tq numbers?

U.S NATIVE says:

I really dont know why you would install a $400.00 camshaft without replacing the lifters. Worn rollers on a fresh lobe never made sense to me.

FuSeD UPP says:

typically a job like that is how much??

Real grease monkies here boy

jt marshall says:

Thinking about getting this cam for a budget 5.3 swap in my 91 s10.. do you recommend it ?

Also what heads does your truck have?

Javier Alonzo says:

What cam you recommend for an 06 4×4 silverado? Low or High lift?

series3jokerjoe says:

Are you running a stock torque converter.

seabass says:

Hey do you have an email I can contact you on for a little install advice?

Ceo At Gages Garage says:

What heads do u have? Im fixing to cam my 01 5.3 I believe its a lm7 motor. I have 706 heads witch everyone is saying they suck. Do u think I should go with the 862 heads or just stick with mine?

Darren Murphy says:

I'm just curious why that particular cam? If you could, would you have gone with something different? I'm not doggin' on your decision, I think it was an awesome choice, I'm just curious if you had like, a list to choose from, how did you come to deciding that was the cam to get?

Reason I ask is because I've been looking at different cams such as the "stage 3 high lift truck cam" and thinking, "if snidertron could of gotten this one, would he of?"

El Tejas 75 says:

But thats the 4.8 Vortec engine not the 5.3 Vortec

Postal Brooks says:

Need some more content of the 5.3…

Gino Medina says:

Can the cam be fitted with Chevy Tahoe 2000

small town big plans says:

Hey I have been watching your channel for awhile now and I have a 1982 gmc 1500 with a 350 and turbo 350 trans any tips or pointers or anything u could on how to get the most amount of performance out of it while keeping it as a daily

Tommy Sellers says:

Before you tore the truck down for the cam swap, did you put #1 piston at TDC on compression stroke so you could line up the timing marks on the cam and crank gear ? Thanks.

Joe Fein says:

Curious why you didnt use any lube on the cam when in stalling???

KaliKushKingg fromdamad says:

Can you do this to a regular small block 350? I’ve been wanting to cam swap my Chevy 1500 single cab..an input would be nice to some speed

Garrett LeBlanc says:

Hey man how much pressure did u put on the cylinder to keep the valve up?

Derek Verville says:

Dogs love antifreeze, its sweet to them, I'd keep an eye out that's how my buddys dog died
