That is a fairly large cam for a 5.3. I would probably settle for something in the224- 226 range on the intake side but that just depends on how much you drive the car. If it's track only then send it.

Lil’ John is pretty good with 5.3 turbo valve curtain needs if you’ve never dealt with him. Honestly, I would like to see you run a conservative solid. |

i dont want something that is too hard to tune. idle, off idle stuff. it was easy enough to tune on a 6.2 but might be difficult on a 5.3. it might be amazing and pull to 7500 too. i will probably give it a shot.

I bet it will love RPM. That LSA tames the duration down quite a bit. It’s going to have some lope for sure. Probably down right mean as hell. |

What converter do you have? Must be an awesome feeling holding 4K and 8psi on the line. Man you are really throwing a wrench in my original plans here with this 5.3.

I am not going to lie. I am thrilled with how this is working and pumped to see what else it can do with a few parts. Since last year I have gone up in turbo size and exhaust housing and dropped displacement and it still spools quickly. It also isn’t overly loose where it just pushes through to 6000rpm and sits there. I have 1800hp worth of turbo on this thing and it still spools quickly. I even have full exhaust. I hope the big cam doesn’t some how slow stuff down and make it difficult to build boost off the line. I dream or a .1 drop in the 60’ and then ramping in another 10-15psi or boost. Woohoo. I do have a 2 step with the ability to pull timing and add fuel. Currently I don’t add fuel but I am pulling timing back to -2 deg.

I planed in tearing into it by now but I am going to the track one more time with the stock 5.3 and try for a glory run. It is going to be something like 40deg so it may run hard or just spin.
I can pull a few lbs. add about 40hp, try some stuff to drop my 60’.

Last trip to the track with a stock 5.3. I will have to look at logs. The boost was up there. 17psi I think. Launching at full boost

Man thats a dam good pass for a 5.3. Very impressive, my 6.05@116 was a 9.41@146 so you are banging on the 9.40 door with 50 less cubes then the stock 6.2 and your 5.3 is bone stock? Thats crazy but many love the 5.3 for its ability to handle boost and play with the bigger cubes. Obviously the 5.3 may not put up the mph on the big end but sure does show a lot of grunt in the ET. You may start another trend again. Great job.

Stock cam, springs, lifters, with dod and vvt, stock ring gap.
I think these gen v motors will end up being better then the gen 3/4. It is hard to say if the 17psi is playing with fire or hell they might end up being happy at 30psi. I am surprised I am not floating the valves at all with that much boost.
