Re: Lsx camshaft
GT2-3 is a favorite of the turbo / nitrous guys for 346 displacement. The motor I bought for my ls1 swap had it installed already. Its all here-say, but he said the motor absolutely screamed on spray with that cam. not sure what that equates to for turbo and 5.3 though

Re: Lsx camshaft
the cam will act like it has 6* more duration ing a 5.3L application.
ex. TR224 cam in a 5.3 would act like it was a 230/230
Your best bet would to be look for somethin a little smaller

Re: Lsx camshaft
Not sure what your looking at if your going boosted, your looking 214-216 area for duration, and you want min 116LSA so you can build boost if your planning on turbo'ing the car

Re: Lsx camshaft
I think it worked pretty well. He put down around 500-550whp with a cam, bolt on and p1sc procharged ls1 at around 5lbs I believe.
I don't see the problem running the GT2-3 in a 5.3 really. It might move your powerband up some but its not going to make the car hard to drive by any means.
