Default Boost with ls6 valvtrain/cam

Ive got a ly5 5.3 with about 8-9psi of boost coming. How well would a ls6 cam/ springs with hardened pushrods do? Looking to ditch the dod and remain " reliable" as I can. Thanks!

I used that set up for about a year with a turbonetics t70. It worked well, spooled fast. Power fell off around 5700 rpm with the stock nbs truck intake.

I used a TU0 cam (.561 lift) with LS6 springs and 12 psi... over 600rwhp and no issues at all bud

I put 12 psi through them on the exact blower the OP bought from me.

My 5.3 went all the way to 7500 without float on a .580 lift cam (LS9)
