Why wouldn't my ls9 cam be good? The 799 heads only flow 1 more cfm with a 600 plus lift or does it have to do with the cam not being efficient enough to spool a turbo quick?

It's not the lift, it's everything. The cam needs to be matched to the whole combo, there's no perfect cam for every 5.3 turbo setup.

Thanks man. Ya I like having my turbo mounted that way because it can suck in fresh air.

Im running into some issues with trying to delete the VVT. I went with a double roller timing chain and clearance is becoming an issue. I bought a LS3 timing cover and the cam sensor is hitting on the chain. just wondering if anyone has ran into this issue?
