stock truck cam in a 6.0 at 11 psi, back when it weighed 3000lbs.
the same cam will act bigger in a 5.3
just letting you know what the free cam is capable of

very nice !!!
No dyno on it, but the 3rd gen did go 9.44 at 144 at 25-26lbs. It's definitely down some power vs with a small cam, but at his weight I'd guess that to be in the 750-800rwhp range. It did go 142 on 21lbs, so above 20lbs or so it isn't gaining a lot per lb of boost which didn't really suprise us much.

Here is the slip for those wanting more increments. It definitely felt like it was out of power above 5300, and that was over half the pass in 3rd. The car weights around 3600lb at raceweight. I will be swapping the cam before I get it on the dyno, but for those of you wanting to save some money you can definitely make good numbers and run quick at the track on the stock cam.
How much boost did it take to do that?
Stock valve springs?

I ended picking up a CheaTR cam local for a great price. I still want a custom turbo cam but I think the CheaTR cam has to pull harder up top than a stock cam.

The L33 that I bought has the single bolt cam and I plan on getting the car running with that cam with the turbo then swapping it once evrything is in order. Can you just swap in a 3 bolt cam in these Gen 4 engines?
