Is this cam to much?
Is this cam to much? Planning on running a torquestorm supercharger in a basically stock 5.3. Plan on using the truck intake and some long tube headers. Would this cam work out well? Anybody with a better idea?

I wouldn't say too much. It's a more mild form than tick performances all out 5.3 polluter cam but not by much. Just remember that's as extreme as grind for that application that isn't custom. So don't expect it to behave all that great.
I thought about just calong comp and getting a custom grind. I was just looking at some of the stuff other places had " on the shelf" figured I'd ask around before I made up my mind.
Really just looking to build a street car with decent performance.

I mean there are plenty of guys that drive magic sticks lol. Depends on how much you are willing to put up with. With an auto know you will have to have a big stall or on a 6 speed cruising through parking lots it will buck occasionally. I drove a torqued V2 with a 6 speed for a long time. No one could really hop in and drive it well but you'd never notice its bad behavior if I drive because I knew how to drive it. Custom cams are best but with your lack of mods someone like tick perf's 5.3 cam choices will serve you well. They are made for pretty generic engines. Their tow max cams are pretty rad. They shifted the peak torque super low for towing but in a street car it's a lot of usable torque at a lower rpm compared to something that peaks higher. That's if it's a street car with decent performance not a race car.
They do have a nice selection for the 5.3's. Would the turbo cams work with a blower since I have seen alot of blower cams and turbo cams. Before I make a purchase I'll still call them, just would like to get some things nailed down before I do. As for a stall, I was planning on right around 3200 depending on what cam I actually went with.
Thanks. I more or less figured since iv seen them labeled as such vs " forced induction". Do you think I'd just be better off altogether going with a custom cam even though it'll be a very mild stockist build?

Verdad Gallardo It is a bit of a shame, but they said I should see 6 to 8 psi and some people claim to have 10 or 11 out of it. Sounds pretty good for me. Really think a plain ls6 cam would be better than a custom grind or maybe a different blower cam from someone else?
The fixed idler will work at 6 to 8 psi but you have to keep the belt very tight. It is surprising to me they would incorporate a manual tensioner into their kits in today's market.
You'll more than likely get more power out of a custom grind cam for your 5.3, but if you can pick up a used LS6 cam at a good price, they work very well. Bob

Any recommendations as far as lifters or timing set goes? Should I just do stock replacements?
I'm not a supercharger guy so by all means defer to Bob above.
Wouldn't the LS9 cam would work well too? They are $110 shipped new. (sometimes cheaper) Used LS6 cams are snatched up quick by all the turbo guys.

Curious if Comp offers an LS6 off the shelf replacement or what they would recommend for your combo.

Stock replacements are generally pretty solid. Ls2 timing chair set up and ls7 lifters. There are companies that sell them like comp for a few dollars more if you think comp has better engineering than multi billion dollar GM
