So im gonna be building a 5.3 and throwning a Borg Warner S475 turbo at it. i just dont know what cam to put in it. this is kinda a slap together build so i was looking to use a stock GM cam or a used cam off LS1tech. not really lookin to spend 400 on a cam if i could get by with a GM cam. i want this motor to scream and make ***** out power!!! 5.3s are cheap so if i window the block **** it and ill get another one...

I ran a ls6 o2 or newer version for a bit. only ran it once this way in my 4.8 and went 130 in the 1/4. I went to a tick cam and picked up 4psi and noticeably more power with more spoolup. I didn't get to run it as I changed the combo a lot since and the track has been closed..
also if you have a choice get a 04 or newer 5.3. they are said to have stronger rods. My rods in my 01 4.8 let go last night with my gate opening at 15psi..
