LS6 cam for a 2000 5.3L

[johnh133]

You will need to measure for pushrod when using LS6 cam.
The 02' and up does have a smaller base circle.

Cant use off the shelf 7.4's

I would not use the STS turbo kit either.
Trick Performance front mount turbo - FTW

out of curiousity, why would you NOT use the STS turbo?

Cause they suck
Cause the Trick Perforamce kit is 1000% better
Cause front mont turbo is mo-better than rear mount


I guess if you like taking it in the rear go with a rear mount turbo ........ just say'n

There is a place for rear mount turbos.
Thats on cars that that is the ONLY place it will fit.

Next to engine and up high is better for many reasons.

Turbo likes to be hot
Exhaust gasses going thru turbo like to be hot
Closer the turbo to engine the better
Gravity feed oil drain from turbo, no pump to go out, or blown seals.


If you're going to be off roading the LAST place I would want my turbo is under the car.


rear low mount turbos have everything you'd want in a good turbo design
going against them.
