Z06 cam good for Turbo?
#34
I am wondering a couple more things as well.
What will my NA HP be after the build from 5.3l to 5.7l displacement with a Z06 cam?
I plan on about a 9-9.5-1 compression ratio, same as a stock 5.3l hopefully.
With the engine basically being a lower compression LS1 with 5.3l heads.
Can I expect say 330hp from this set up?
There will be no special head work done other than a freshening up of components where needed and possibly some better rods than stockers, as well as fasteners by ARP.

I have built quite a few LS FI motors currently a TB SS AWD 575awhp and 680awtq [ we have an AWD dyno in house ] Trust me when I tell you the best cam right now is LPE GT7 . 18 inch of vac at idle. Almost 0 lag . my truck idles at 550rpm and is smother then stock . Yeh it's $389 or so but it's money we'll spent . IMO . The 02-04 Z06 cam is good on the cheap works well but I have changed out a few in favor of the GT7. Get some 918's springs or manley nextec 's it will help. but you could use GM yellow's.

I bought the 04 z06 cam. need to get the springs and maybe some hardened push rods. I plan to dyno the truck before and after the cam install. I will keep everyone updated on the outcome!!
