Default Tick stage 1 turbo cam

I am looking to buy a cam for my 5.3 that is using a s475 turbo. I'm leaning toward the stage 1 cam. The car has power brakes and power steering. I want all that to work as it should. Will this cam still have a decent lope to it? I've heard it in a 5.7, but not a 5.3. Anyone have a idle vid?

Ok, I'll assume that this is not a popular cam. What about the stage 2 tick cam for a 5.3? Anyone using that one?

Looked on YouTube. Found a few vids of a camaro and another vehicle. But none of them really give details on what engine. Not sure if the camaro is a 5.3 or a 5.7. There is a black square body silverado on there with this cam.but it's a drag strip video, can't tell much about it

That sounds like the idle needs to be bumped up a bit to me.

Cool thanks for posting the vid. I think the 5.3 turbo cams are a bit smaller than the other grinds. But it should be similar
