Stock,2000 ls1 cam ok with boost? I am building a 5.7 aluminum ls1 from a 2000 t/a. Will the stock roller cam and lifters work with boost on it. Trying to keep some sort of budget. Spent alot on the bottom end.

50's should support 94hp each. More than I need. I wouldn't want to try to push it past 600 rwhp or so. My car will spend 99% of its life on the street. Heck, the 3.8 turbo I am running now only makes 475 to 490 rwhp, and is a handful.

Hey lsxfox, let me know when you drive it, as far as how it does. I have quite some time until mine will be ready. Still trying to decide which car to put it in. I did a frame -off on the GN , in 09 but it seems I have had nothing but gremlins with the 3.8 v6. It's powerful, but fragile. I need more reliable power.I have a 65 GTO , in the first quarter of a frame-off, but old guys would curse me, everywhere I go, if I stuffed it in that.
