    5.3 with Z06 cam N/A?

    Anyone out there running a Z06 cam in their 5.3 and still N/A?
    I'm kicking around the ideas of turbos at a later date but figured I'd throw a 2002 Z06 cam in my 5.3 for now since a lot of people have good luck with them boosted, I'll be running it N/A for a while.

    I'll be happy to let cam and springs go for cheap. Z06 cam seems to work well with boost.

    it seems to be a good boosted cam but since he wants to go na for the time being i reccomend like a 212/218 low lift. more cam for na now and will still be good for boost later imo. unless your getting the z06 cam for free or hella cheap, i say go bigger, i think you will b disapointed otherwise

    I got an LS6 cam free and put it in my wife's 98 OBS 5.3 truck. I think it runs pretty good personally, better than nothing. If I had to buy one I would have used Scoggin Dickey's 214/218 (again, wife's daily driver truck.)
