Nitrous carb'd 5.3 cam question
Just looking for some opinions on a good cam to run. I know a custom cam would be the best choice, but just looking for a off the shelf cam right now.
car is a 86 cutlass, full weight street car. will have a th-400, converter will depend on cam choice, 10 bolt or 9 inch, and gears are still up in the air.
idle, driving, dealing with a big converter has no effect on me. car will be driven once or twice during the week, and mostly on the weekend/race track. looking to spray 150-175 ..
thanks

Any idea what the compression would be with .040 milled? I know its best to check ptv clearance, but think it would be an issue?
Car will mostly be raced. Got the 5.3 cheap. Thanks

A T-Rex is a great nitrous cam, at least on the 5.7. I'm inclined to believe it might be a bit too much cam for a 5.3 since it was designed to be one of the biggest off the shelf cams for a stock cube LS1. But since you said you're not going to be driving it Too often, I say take a look into the T-Rex cam.
