Default Who Spec'd your FI camshaft?

I am putting together a 5.3 turbo e85 engine with 317 heads and a mpt76 q trim turbo. I am wanting to get cam recomendations or see who I should get mine spec'd through. Not sure if any off the shelf cams are good but who did you use and was it right the first time?

I have an 01ls6 cam now, just thinking about a spec'd cam

the ls6 cam had proven itsself many times in a setup like that... just without the 317s.. that might drop your compression kinda low.. i think the 5.3 is at like 9.5:1 already not sure on the differnence in the chambers though...

stock 5.3 with the ls6 cam have been taken to to 600+ with a masterpower turbo..




to answer your question i got my cam from shawn @ VA speed. the VTC2 cam sould make the power i want and be great out of boost it will be a few month before its running though

If you want something quick off the shelf Speedinc.com sells some. The TU1 would prob go decent in the 5.3 as a drag car. Its a 225/225 .581? 113lsa.

I had the TU2 in my 370, made boost great and had the nice lumpy idle haha
