so im looking at putting a cam in my truck. its an 01 silverado with a stock 5.3..... with twin 70s on it. for now im only going to be running about 7psi but ill bump it up to 12 or so soon enough. if i had a 6.0 or bigger this cam would be a no brainer, but do you guys think itll work with such a small motor?

P.S. - i have a 3200 stall coming

We have a couple nice turbo cams for the 5.3l. We have done more testing and turbocharging of the 5.3l and 4.8's then most.

Even the LS6 cams sound bad *** in the 4.8 5.3's. I don't know of anyone with the XB in anything smaller than a 346-7, only because the Z06 cams work so well in them.
