I'm boosting a 5.3 with a typhoon intake with a garrett gt4594. I want somthing mild. Titanium valves, mild port. Going in a 240 with a full manual auto.

Duration at .050 intake 215.0,exhaust 219.8 Valve lift w/1.7 rockers intake 0.598, exhaust 0.551 lobe separation angle 117.8

diffentley a turbo grind cam, yeah looks good. the only thing i don't like is the titanium valves, atleast on the exhaust side. i would change the exhaust valves over to stainless, if it was my motor.

high exhaust temps and titainum don't mix very well. the life expectancy of the exhaust valves will be reduced.
