Hello Yello, I too have a 2004 Slingshot Yellow SSR and feel that a new cam would do a lot to making the 5.3L engine a better preforming power plant. It is a good running, all aluminum block engine with roller rockers, EFI, etc. When you get the work done do a posting here and let us know how it turned out and what you did. Good luck.

1) i have settled on a mild cam the GT2-3 from Lingenfelter, and i was wondering if the computer has to be messed with after install.
2) I did read the "Add 100 HP to Gen III Small-Blocks" on Car Craft, and was surprised to read that when installing a cam on the Gen III that you can just spin the engine over two revolutions the lifters will sit up out of the way so you dont have to pull the intake on the engine. I found a post that confirms this, but it mentioned using a dowel rod for safety's sake, but did not give a recommended size.
also i am open to suggestions on the cam and install, its my first time researching a cam replacement, so any and all suggestions are great. I have learned allot by just reading about it on the other posts, but any advice is great even when repeated.
