Cam in a 03 using Hypertech.

I would stay away far from it. That is just an idle video. Who knows how it runs in closed and open loop. I don't know what mods you have but i have quite a few with custom tuning and i am about to take the cam out. Its a real high rpm cam that is good in cars and strokers. You will need 4.56/4.88 gears AND 3400 stall and pretty much every bolt on. Then have rev limiter removed so you can shift at 7k. Not worth it on a stock block.

Go with a Comp 260, Crazy Jay.

Here is a Comparison Chart for the Comp Cam lineup. As you can see the Comp 260 would be the cam of choice for you.

Yeah, the 273 is such a high rpm cam that it really isnt meant for a truck. 7k in a truck to get it into the meat of the powerband just is not worth it. The 268 is a much more friendly street cam with the right mods and if you can tune it, you will still need 410-456's and at least a 2800-3200 stall converter but it will not run with out a tune and without the idle upped or it will stall out. The 260 will run on a canned tune and should have no issues with the superchips tuner, no custom tune needed, it builds it power in the right spots so it should work well for your application.

Again, ones that will work with your truck,

Crazy Jay - Inertia Motorsports
Crazy Spartan - Inertia Motorsports
FRI Sidewinder - Franks Racing / Comp Cams
Comp 260 - Comp Cams

OR

You can buy a 6.1 cam which you can get for cheap and send it down to inertia for a regrind to any spec that you want, it will give you more options for the cam and still be easily tuneable for your application. If I were you I think I would at least give them a call and see what you can get done to get you the most bang for your buck.

So you dont know what gears it has? Thought you said it had 4.10's? Lope is more than likely from the exhaust. Mine had a slight lope with the exhaust only. Also thought you said you had a Borla exhaust, now you are saying you dont have a muffler at all?

All of them will have about the same lope or close to one another. HP/TQ numbers you are going to have to do some research. Start emailing places or calling them and ask. Comp gets back to you real quick, inertia will help you out with pretty much anything you want too.
