What i have found tear down and build thread
LSA and the lift is more indicative of an NA cam. Not to mention that its very large for a 5.3. It's virtually identical to a tick stage 3 turbo cam with less then ideal lift and lobe separation. But I assume if your going with something that large your planning on running a pretty high stall converter as well with a pretty high rev range? 7k at least I would think?
Most turbo cams are close to specs of a n/a cam, the specs for your cam seem right on part with where you should be. This thing should be a while lot more efficient at lower boost levels now. Let's just hope the tuner kows watches doing the time around
Depends on the size of the turbo IMO, even tick states that specs that large should be used with a 76-80mm turbo. Not sure what he has.
Hey man,
I still say you need to send some of the pics to Car Craft for Blown up part of the month !!
Here's the info from their site:
"
Do you have something better? Send pictures to CarCraft@carcraft.com and please put Blown Up in the subject line."
Then just give them a blurb about overboosting a front drive rocket....

With a turbo the size of the OP's, the largest cam I'd recommend would be our Stage 2 5.3 Turbo cam.
