5.3 turbo build questions?

I don't see any reason the 317s and ls6 stuff can't handle as much as you can hit it with however the zo6 cam will only flow well enough to get to 6-700hp you will want more cam eventually and you might run into valve float without better springs. Brian tooley platinums would be an excellent choice. Seems like a great build with a ton of funs parts. I think the speed inc TU1 boost cam that 02camaross uses would be perfect for this build.

Who cares what the cam will "flow". If you wanna run a big turbo with big boost you'll surpass 700 hp easily with a zo6 cam.

Wondering cause I have a ls2 zo6 spec cam,yellow valve springs and ls2 front timing cover. Just wondering if I should use this stuff or sell it and buy something diffrent. I wanna boost it till it blows then back off a little LOL

I like this artical. Yeah they swapped out the cam and some things but only because they wanted big power to see what would break first. It's forced air your going to make power no matter what.

Yes however he zo6 cam will hold it back significantly verse an aftermarket cam we are talking a difference of 80-100hp at 15lbs of boost.
