SSStreetracer04 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 I dont know a whole lot about heavily engine technical things. I have an 04 silverado SS and i have two questions: 1st: are our SS'S DOHC or single and second what cam should I order? Like I said i dont know a whole lot, im just learning now and I hear about LS1 cams, theres a place called slowhawk performance which offers custom LSX cams and then i heard about comp cams I just dont know where to start. Im just looking for more power gains as usual and was wondering what the best ones are. thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2001silverado364 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) It's neither, it's a pushrod engine. The cam is right above the crankshaft. matt* has a good how to on it(see his below). I like the tsp 224, myself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=199YYgcDYeI Edited December 18, 2011 by Mr. 3/4 ton SS (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2001silverado364 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Yes, it's basically the same for any gm v8 used since around 1999. For your ss, it's exactly the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
