cam question (Help please) well i know this has been asked time and time again. but i need to get something done in a hurry. the truck is deciding to chunk springs like once a week now.
I have a scsb truck with a compleetly built 5.3. 9.0:1 compression and stage two gtp heads. what cam recomendations would you have for probably 6300 rpms at the most. This is now going to be a turbo application.
Any help would be appreciated let me know if more info is needed.

it will see aprox 12 lbs. of boost but i will put it up to 20lbs when getting serious. as far as fuel. that is to be determined. only thing i have now is motor and it has been in the truck. but the cam has got to go. so i want to do it once like i planed to in the first place but that did not happen. also i recently decided on turbo over s/c due to speculation of some kits comming out in the near future.
Thanks i will prob try to order something tomorrow or mon at the latest.
this time instead of limping it home on the inner spring i had a toe bill of about 230$
thanks and let me here some more

I've gotten some second hand Dutweiller opinions that traditional splits with roughly 6 more degrees on the exhaust side work very well. Add to that the opinion that a lower LSA, around 112, allows fresh (read: cooler) charge air into the cylinder, while not making the turbo work too much harder.
I was interested in the cam PSJ quoted, but on a 112 LSA.
FWIW, the turbo king of this site has a traditional split, I'm fairly sure (Harlan). Good enough for me.
