Oh boy, just what I like to see, independent results, thank you Richard

The entire performance community owes you a debt of gratitude. Thank you so much for running down to 2000!!

Fabulous comparison! Next request would be a comparison of a SS2 and a Sloppy Best cam on a 6.0L or 6.2L. 😉

Sooooo many people have been biting their nails waiting for this, including myself! Thanks for going over the data. Hoping the SB does well in my turbo 6.0

Hope we can see these cams up against more cams. Let's break out the comp cams and of course the sloppy stage 2. And on a 6.2 or 6.0.

Would like to see those two on the chart with original sloppy stage 2.

They say you are not working if you do what you love. You are always so "up", positive, and energetic, the love and enthusiasm comes through in gobs of horsepower! I am building a 408 for my silverado so I LOVE all these comparison videos. Looks like, at least for me, it's the truck Norris cam.

For a street car or truck that torque curve the mid range power from 3000-4700rpm is very useable in stoplight banzai where stout track gears and rpms are not as useable that is why Truck Norris is a good street cam.

Ready for part 2 sir!

Very interesting but if your chosen cam is going in a daily street driven vehicle, it's probably not at full throttle very often and I'd put my money on the btr cam being better at part throttle conditions in most applications. I would have a conversation with btr and a few other knowledgeable companies before purchasing such a vital part of my combination based on a dyno test or a small price difference.

Terrific stuff Richard. First time I've seen a cam with solid top end stay equal or better to stock all the way to 2000 rpm. Even on a stock converter that Chuck Norris looks fantastic.

You could always check the valve clearance and see if you could advance the best a few degrees. Best Intake is probably closing later .

Thanks Richard, you teach things that apply to all engines, I’m a big FE fan, but the builders are really getting to be real jerks. I am about to switch to the LS. Lol.

Thanks Richard, sloppy might sound good but, technology wins on the dyno.

I love how you explain the difference on the cams thank you for your time

Biggest difference is in the cost involved to support each, the TN can use GM springs while the SB needs aftermarket due to lift, TN was developed to be used with factory converter while as you mentioned the SB looks to need a converter upgrade so unless you are doing a TB converter its a few hundred dollars more to be as efficient.

Could we see the Truck Noris, Sloppy Best, and Sloppy Stg 2 curves on the same graph on the same engine?

if you took the sloppy cam an changed the evo to a later number it would be just like the norris cam..a early evo moves the tq an hp curve up. meaning it will carry power up higher. a later evo means more tq down low.its all about controlling the cylinder pressure for where you want it . i suggest people learn valve events an dont look at duration. duration is a by product from your valve events.😉

Perfect, thank you. Truck Norris it is. My truck does a-lot of off roading and is built to do that stuff, though it mostly just DDs come hunting season and messy weather I often push it. I want that mid range oomph.

I’m putting this cam in an LQ4 with 862 heads, should be a good runner.

Great comparo! Those RHS/Mast heads seem to be very strong-any comparison of them to, say, TFS 215s? Otherwise it looks like that increased bore is really worth it! Thanks Richard. Looking for part 2…

I'd love to see a Comp cams 54-456-11, which is basically a high lift GM Hot cam. I think it'd be right in the middle. 706 heads are made for 1-5/8" headers...and they work very well up to 500 bhp.

Sweet I think he did well only one video and your testing he sold like 375 or 475 of those buggers in under a month seems like he had great success selling them

Truck Norris does what I think many suspected. Another great vid.

Great video Richard. For me Truck Norris it will be...torque is king in heavy vehicles..

Would be interesting to see how they stack up to summits 8720 in those combos.

Richard, thanks for the testing!

I mentioned the other day about the 2 cams side by side I just wanted to see the comparison of the 2 on a 5.3 setup on the same same dyno graph only reason I ask is I noticed the 5.3 tests had less bottom end dip. Again thank u for your time and replays your a great dude and very god dammn smart. North Maine Steve

Sloppy best and Truck Norris are some badass truck cams!

Sloppy best cam price is unbeatable tho

Man that truck Norris cam is impressive. Now you need to test the Tick Performance Towmax stage 2.

Be a good idea to consider cost for these cams. Aint nuthin beating the man

Been waiting for some sloppy best comparisons, thank you!

Revisting this, I put a Texas Speed CHOPacabra cam in my LQ4 with 862 heads. Originally I wanted the BTR TN, but got a great deal on cam and springs. I'm not really pleased with the lack of power. It drives great andsounds good, but feels like it's down 20-25 RW from where it should be. I am going to replace my converter first, because it was doing weird stuff on the dyno. If it doesn't seem any better after ruling that out - it's time for a change. I have a nice set of 799s done by Advanced Induction, and a Sloppy Best Cam. I'm leaning towards swapping those on after the converter to get what I want out of this daily driven combo.

🔥🔥Awesome Stuff Richard!!! What it means to me is my Gen IV 4.8 at the machine shop, gets Bored and Honed to 3.905 👍🏽🔥🔥

Lets also factor in the price.... The "best" cam is much better bang for the buck.

looking forward too part 2

Awesome as usual bro Ritchie!!

Richard, I would love to see a buildup on the old Toyota 22R. Great little motors, hard to kill them.

Very interesting results! Upon recommendation from Summit, I just got a Summit 8708 cam for my 5.3L swap... I'm wondering how it'll do in terms of numbers compared to more mainstream grinds like these. Maybe the smaller Summit lineup, including the 8708, is a test you could do someday? Keep up the good work!

Awesome video! I've been waiting for more info on the truck Norris cam.

Sorry I see the side by side I take back my other comment great video Richard goid work dude

I have mentioned tight LSA does good things for torque multiple times.

Always so helpful. Thanks Richard . appreciate you

Great content as always, Richard.

Been really looking at the Norris camshaft for a while now soo happy u tested this on a 5.3 I can't get it out of my head though that I'll get another few up w the sloppy best though. Think I g I'm gonna go w the sloppy shaft

compare the torque and power curves of the 54-454-11, if you gotta converter it anyway why not make all the power

Yooo Richard! Haha great vid bro!

Richard just looked at the new cam from tsp the " chopocabra" 214/222 .550/.550 108 LSA. Shameful on there part I feel like they took all of Brian toilets hard work and research made a camshaft almost identical to the norris shaft and named it somthing intriguing to some folks that may for for a name rather than a cam spec . just wanted to bring this to your attention maybe try a test on the "chopocabra" see if the results are similar to the norris cam swap results North Maine Steve

I'm waiting for someone to run a dial indicator on the exhaust lobe of the truck Norris cam to tell us what the mystery duration is!!

Would be interesting to see these compared to the Summit Pro LS

No matter what. A cam swap will add power no matter what.....

You know there are on here. the know it all driveway mechanic for LS guys .the one recommended to use a factory cam that was in his engine he was rebuilding but have a machine shop do whatever to it .but rebuilding his engine he says no need to replace cam bearings.

Scott Clark told me you’re wrong and the sloppy cam has issues on their spintron with multiple cylinder pressure monitors. 😂

Richard.. C5Z / LS6. All the usual bolt ons. Long tubes. Off road x-pipe…Mildly ported 243 head’s w/ double springs etc. Sloppy Best? Or Sloppy stage 2? What’s your pick? Car is street/strip. 6 speed. 3.42 gears. Sticky tires.

+1 for a test with Tick Performance Towmax cams - I wish I could see some curves on the dyno and see if I'd like it for a DD ls swap or not

Wish I could have seen the last bit on the comparison on side by side dyno graph on the 5.3 like u did on the 5.7 side by side Norris vs. Best dyno sheet just wanted to see the 2 on graph w the 5.3 where the 5.3 had differnt sweeps than the 5.7 especially down low

Been waiting for this 🙌

Yeah i been waiting for this! I chose a ss2 over the truck norris mostly bc of price but have wondered ig i made wrong choice

Sloppy best vs Elgin 1840p 🤔 judging by this curve with more lobe separation and what not and the same or .005 more lift the sloppy stage 2 would prob flow a little better up top correct? The two seem pretty comparable. Def solid contenders for decent prices

Sweet good job Richard nice video

So... in conclusion.... All things with turbo.... Got it... And agreed......

Richard wish you would have done 243 heads on the 5.7 when compariing the Truck Norris/SS1 cams. Its what im building currently.

"And now, the moment you've all been waiting for!"

Cleared up a few questions and got to see both cams ran on a 5.3 r he Norris cam is stated to have no loss all gain on a stock 5.3 your test proved its true . I seen none to minimal low end dip on the 5.3 looks like I'm prolly gonna end up w the Norris cam in my L33

Weird how an LSA more suited for these engines works better as with the TN cam. Who would have thought? David Vizards maybe?

Would love to see a video on different types on fuel on a stock engine 91octane vs e85 vs m1 methanol

What about a direct comparison between the btr and best cam on the 5.3?

The first test is weird to me. If I had a 5.7 the first thing I would do is the cam, not Cnc ported aftermarket heads with a stock cam

I'm waiting for the Bruce Flee cam.

Any input thinking of putting a set of 862s and doing the truck Norris cam on a 6.0 2500hd Just to help out with towing

Just got off work it’s time to figure out what cam to put in my truck

VIDEO SUGGESTION: I'M not sure if this has been done before or not, but I'm sure someone has. However I'd like to see what results you come up with. Ready? Take a 5.3l. 1st test: stock (non-flexfuel) injectors on 87 pump gas... 2nd test: stock (non-flexfuel) injectors on E85... 3rd test: Stock Flex Fuel injectors on 87 pump gas.. 4th, Final test: Stock Flex Fuel injectors with E85... No tuning. I'd like to see if just swapping the fuel or just the injector makes additional power. Then maybe some tuned pulls for fun. So basically will a 5.3l flex fuel injector, dropped into a non-flex 5.3l make any extra power???. No tuning. Just the injector. Whatcha say? Could be an easy, and cheap to make video that would help tons of ppl I think..

Thank you so much for the video I was undecided intell know for my 09 avalanche z71

Yay can't wait

Would be nice to have a part number on the best cam

I would love to see this exact same comparison with a LS7 cam instead of the LM7 cam.

Awesome! When will another round of these come out?

Man I would really love to see a comparison between the truck Norris and the summit 8720 cams. I'm m building a lq4 with ported 706 heads for a humvee ls swap

truck norris would still out run the sloppy best when you add boost, the turbo would spin up faster with the Truck Norris cam vs the sloppy best

Its right there in the name!!

The info is helpful theres alot of delusional people who think cams do more than they do and dont realize most cams kill the bottom of the curve

I would love to see you test & review the Scoggin Dickey LS6 Powermax & Powermax PLUS cam. I just put a Powermax in my 5.3 & I'm very happy with it.

Can we see a video of the BYR Torque Cam in a stock 6.0???

🔥🔥🔥Success 🔥🔥🔥

Personally I blame squirrels

The Sloppy best cam is better above 5000rpm the BTR is better 2000rpm-4200rpm really splitting hairs with these two cams in a heavy vehicle with a stock stall converter I'd take the Truck Norris cam but if using a 2800-3000rpm stall converter in the same application the extra power above 5000rpm with the Sloppy best cam is slightly better and enough to notice the Truck Norris cam would work better if gearing was 3.42 with stock converter in a 4L60E or 700r4 the Sloppy best cam would work better with 3.73-4.10 gearing in the 4L60E or 700r4 with at least a 2500rpm stall converter is my opinion

Love the video, do you think you'll ever run out of ideas 💡 and have you ever thought of experimenting with a Toyota 1UZ FE?

Cam results are awesome but. What workouts are you doing Richard .

it seems lsa is being made really low over more duration manufacturers are learning that a cam can be rowdy with out being big in duration seems GM had it right with ls9 put ls9 with 107 lsa and viola magic

No matter what your choice is BTR s bank account wins .

Twin-turbo L33 5.3 with the Truck Norris . . . let's see how this goes . . .

Truck Norris is the best name ever lmao 🤣

I would go with a Lunati best race cams on the market but they don’t give away free products to anyone even the big guys in NHRA have to pay it used to be $60 a cam I dunno how much they are today

Truck Norris vs Best Cam results at 12:07

TRUCK NORRIS #1.

GLORIOUS!

I'd like to see the truck Norris vs the Texas speed 220R

Can someone explain the origins of the sloppy thing? Please and thank you ☺️

Thanks! Getting ready to swap my stock turbo 4.8, for a 5.3 with TN and the same turbo setup, curious to see how much the turbo responds differently.
