mdcrivelli Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I have a 2003 AWD ss 6.0L. I want one nasty sounding cam but I don't know cams or what i have to do to put one in. Right now i have a volant cai and a magnaflow exhaust. I also want to get a zippy tune ecu but i dont know much about them. Please help.

Downeast Johnny Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 Welcome to the site. You might get someone to give you a "Buy this cam it's all you need" answer. The smart money would be for you to call Zippy and and tell him your long term goal for your truck. (And follow his advice). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1BAD2K Posted July 3, 2015 Report Share Posted July 3, 2015 I agree ^^^ except I would look for a local tuner with access to a dyno. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted July 5, 2015 Report Share Posted July 5, 2015 You should never pick a cam based on sound. At this point you only have a cold air intake and Magnaflow. That would normally direct you toward a small camshaft. You would still have some lope, but not one that will give you a racecar sound. If you want to do a more agressive camshaft you will want to purchase a torque converter and shift kit at minimum. A big cam with a stock converter makes for a truck that is only quicker from a roll and also will be a pain to get the idle correct. Headers will also make even a mild camshaft sound alot more agressive. You will want a set of headers if you do a big cam also since it makes the overlap of the cam work alot more for you.

Also, earlier i emailed you off of your web page about the ecu. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
