Hello, I purchased a Texas speed stage 3 high lift camshaft, on my 2004 chevy 1500hd 6.0 and am interested in a good tune. Fired truck up and it idled fine; I was surprised because most can't get an idle without tuning. I purchased HP tuner, it's on the way, but I am interested in a good tune to maximize the investment.
Needs more injector too if you didn't replace those yet.
Can't make power if you can't supply enough fuel.
2016 Silverado CCSB 5.3/6L80e, not as slow but still heavy.
If you don't post your tune and logs when you have questions you aren't helping yourself.
When did a 216/220 cam become a stage 3?
When it was marketed for a 4.8 in a heavy truck, lol. I loathe all the "stage" bullshit with regard to mods.Originally Posted by 2xLS1
yes
what size do you recommend?
That cam is fine for a 6.0L. There was a time when a cam labeled a Stage 3 would have been much bigger and wouldn't have idled fine on the stock tune.
I hate the stage numbers as well.
Magic Stick 3?
hehe
here is my first tune any thoughts or suggestions.25-06-13 05-44-05.hpl
I'd rather deal with stage numbers than all the dumb names LOL

The misfire diag won't work with a cam. You might as well not scan that stuff. If you don't disable/de sensistise the misfire counters with a cam the TCC will never lock.
Log STIT and LTIT to see if it needs more or less BRAF

If it doesnt have a cool name it cant make power. Wait until i get my "chop daddy thats the wrong hole gawk gawk 9000 big loper" cam on the market.
On that cam you can multiply all misfire diag tables by 2 and the cel will still flash during a nearly dead misfire.
Ok i agree with you on that one.
my memory is rusty, but i think its the UK that started the 'Stages' of modifications.
where it actually meant something, and not just a random name of a thingy someone used.
also, my GF laughed at the "chop daddy thats the wrong hole gawk gawk 9000 big loper" cam name..
I only remember the "stage whatever" crap going back to the mid 1980s, but I may have just not been aware of it before then. At least some of the stupid names are actually funny.
thanks for the information
I like the old style cams, 3/4 race and full race.
