Default True duals with a single turbo/Brutespeed cam questions

First off is anyone running this cam on a 5.3? I am by no means making my car for the track, just fun on the street/cruising. Basic setup would be a 76mm, 241s, stock bottom end w ARP bolts, Vic Jr. Secondly, before my motor blew I spent a good amount of money on a 3 inch TD setup that runs out the back of the car. No one seems to want it. So could I reuse the section from the x pipe back and add a merge from my DP to the mufflers?

what cam?

Depending on what muffler you have in back , ya you could use it. If its a straight through type ya... if its chambered...hmmm might be a little restrictive.

I don't know of anyone off hand that is using our cam on a 5.3. I think it would be on the large side for a 5.3, your combo might do better with an LS6 camshaft. Bob

Id offer a trade but idk if i want this cam or not, i had a 228/236 .592/.592 110 cam in my LT1, even with a 3600 stall and 2.73s it was very streetable. The problem i have is that no one seems to use this cam in a 5.3. Im not worried about noise, ill have room for 3 more mufflers. Id just like to know spool time/redline

true but you're going up in came size and down on ci at the same time, should make a big difference. If the guy that sells the cam tells you its prolly a little big for what you want than id believe him as hes basically turning your money down to give you the right advice.
