    Thunder Racing Custom Split Pattern Camshaft for Nitrous/Supercharger applications- 224/227 .563/.569 114 LSA (This cam will check in the 226 range on the exhaust lobe.) 2200-6800 RPM Power Band. Excellent mid-range & high RPM power. Automatic cars require computer tuning and it is recommend for optimum results on manual transmission cars. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

    those are the specs. i wanted to keep the lsa up due to the nitrous i am using. bigtex or anybody with any ideas on it or experience or advice. thanks.

    right now i have the 216-220-525-532-114 with slp 1.85's that i will get rid of it i get this cam.

    It'd be a monster in that 5.3 so you'd probably want to +4° it and you'll have to short shift it until you get a 5.7 or 6.0 in there...

    Do you have your performance heads installed yet? At what point do the stock 5.3L heads begin to slow the flow down, can they handle the high lift?

    Maybe a set of LS6 heads will compliment it

    good luck,
