There was still some timing we could pull and make more but since I tow we it was best to leave it

Torque actually looks pretty bad on the low end. Looks like it doesn’t start pulling until 3700ish.

 

definitely more up top though

Its because the pull didnt start until 3000 rpms. Its definitely got way more torque than stock. I asked the same thing. On a stock converter as well.

How were your dealings with LSXperts? I was considering them before going with Vengeance Racing.

Couldnt have been better. Communication was great. Just all around easy to deal with

I have the same cam in my 2014 L86.  I had the head ported and a valve job by a local shop while I had them off.

 

I never dynoed it but if feels like it pick up all over.  I was just working on my 1-2 and 2-3 shift points and it was showing I was spinning all the way through 1st with 50% throttle applied.  This is with 115 pounds worth of 22x12 wheels and 33” tire.

 

 

i just pulled my 6800 pound wakeboat home yesterday and it holds gears better than the stock cam.  So it doesn’t lose any torque.

Oh and I have my idol set to 735 and it feels stable.  I tried it lower at like 685 or something but it wasn’t stable at low speed on off throttle situation.  And would stall if you where try to back into a parking spot on a steep hill if you had to get on and off the throttle a bunch

Mind if I ask what rpm are you shift at WOT?  I’m trying to get mine to shift at 6200

The c7 vette, which the engine is identical, has a stock redline of 6500 rpm. So 6200 is no problem.

Correct but if you have an early 2014 L86 with stock springs beware running it that high.  They had problems with valve springs breaking.  They had yellow paint on them.  They later switched to the valve spring with blue paint that was updated design.

Any way of knowing what valve springs we have prior to pulling (vin or engine numbers)

2014, 5.3, 4x4, work truck

Exactly. I thought I had an afm lifter failure. But it was a broke spring and bent pushrod. It happened while towing at 2500 rpms.

    • I use Amsoil's OE line of motor oil (5W20) in our 19 Hyundai Santa Fe. I noticed today on the web site it now says (47% more wear protection1 than required by the GM dexos1 Gen 2 specification). Maybe I  missed it but I don't think so.
    • The amount of storage in the rear seat area is huge. You can keep all your cycle gear dry and clean back there
    • Truck in fluid changes and investigate subtle shudder at cruising speeds.  Told them it felt like my ‘14’s shudder when AFM kicked in.   Dealer #1 :  You need a new torque converter.   6 weeks later, after causing other damages to my truck, I get the truck back.  Same shudder exists. New, more violent shifts and vibrations at low speed.  After choice words and a few more weeks of waiting for them to replace my running boards supports, I move on to another Dealer.   Dealer #2:  The cruising speed shudder is DFM.  (I didn’t realize truck had it.) The TCM/ECM needs updates.  Updates will solve all vibration issues.   They perform updates, truck seemed ok in lot.  Not a mile down the road, SERVICE BRAKE PAD MONITOR. Dealer #1 stated brakes were at 4mm.   took truck back to Dealer #2, rear brakes at 2mm and less than 1mm.     New pads/rotors on rear, new pads up front.   truck seems good. Toggle through menus, brake monitor system is disabled.  Huh?  Why? Turn that sucker on : SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM!     will not reset manually, automatically, or even after pulling negative bat cable for 30min.     Could the TCM/ECM updates the culprit?    A torque converter diagnosis for a “normal” shudder and now I’m thousands in the hole and the truck still isn’t right!  Beyond pissed.  
    • Your right on. 👍🏻
    • Seats matter a lot.  I would start there - good advise here.  I had a 2018 LT Colorado before my 2026 LT Silverado, and the seats are so much better in the new one it's not even a contest.  That was one thing I always hated about the Colorado and I owned two of them spanning 10 years - but I did it so I could park in the garage mainly.  Now I have a much larger property and a huge barn so I have plenty of parking options and a full size is more useful for maintaining the property and current hobbies as well.  I wasn't evenb thinking about the seats as part of the reason for the move to the Silverado, but after two back to back 700mile road trips I am sold on the LT seats w/ leather 100%.  The other LT features are also nice - one thing I really like is the power rear window on the back window by the bed.  And the lighting in the bed is also very nice to have - I doubt that comes on the lower models.  Power tailgate - also quite useful - it's a heavy slug!  What else - I could take or leave the screen - but heated seats and steering wheel and cruise control on the steering wheel is very useable - I would never want to live without that.  Even the colorados had that.
