Upgrades to go with stage 3 cam

[Dek1773]

Just wondering.....    I have a 2008 Silverado with a 6.0....  What kind of other upgrades yall would suggest to go with a TSP stage 3 cam kit with afm/dod delete. I have gotten a Black Bear performance tune and also put a S&B cold air intake on it and about to get 2.5 true dual exhaust installed. What else should I look at doing?

You really need to consider how much power you want to make and how much other stuff you want to buy.

 

Going to just about anything stage 3 means you need an aftermarket higher stall torque converter and if the 4L65/70e is stock, you better hope it's healthy and stays together. The stock transmission will break stuff if you shift above 6,000rpm without hard parts in a heavy ass truck.

 

If you don't want a stall converter you need to stay in the 212/218 or somewhere around there camshaft size. It will still make good power but won't need the 2,500 to 3,000rpm stall like bigger camshafts need.

 

Stock injectors should support a cammed 6.0 in those years and you will want to invest in a wideband oxygen sensor for tuning. Because that truck will need a complete retune and email tuning is going to take forever and likely not be that good. The wideband information in the data logs is extremely important for wide open throttle tuning to make sure fueling is correct and that the airflow model in the calibration is tuned right.

I agree get a HP Tuner interface and watch their videos on youtube.
