454 (L29) Cam Suggestions

[618 Syndicate]

Mine didn't need a cam, back together, checked and running.

Proceed....

Running good now?

Seems to be. I've ordered a new ECM and once that arrives I'll take it on an extended drive.

That's good. Is the new PCM tuned by chance?

No, factory stock replacement programmed to my vin.
I'm looking for a mail order tuner, but none seem forthcoming. I'll use BlackBear if nobody else offers a viable option, I just don't want the long turnaround that seems to be the norm with BB.

If you're looking for alternatives to Black Bear, you might check out Nelson Performance. They offer mail order tuning for these trucks. I was looking at them years ago but ended up going with Black Bear. I believe Wester's Garage and PCM4Less also offered mail order tuning for these at one point, they still might.

Thanks, I'll do some research.

There's quite a bit locked up in the factory tune.

That's what I understand. It's just got basic bolt ons so I feel like it will suit my needs with a basic mail order tune.

I'm running a comp 01-415-8, seems to work well for me but I dont really have anything to compare it against other than stock. I probably wouldn't go too much larger (not that this one is large), as i suspect you wouldn't see a bigger cam's true potential with the stock intake manifold.

what valve springs did you end up using?
