Default gt2-3 cam in 4.8 with turbo?

Im really looking into the gt2-3 cam to put in my 4.8 turbo build but cant find a hole lot of info on how it runs with a turbo setup in these trucks, Im just wondering if anyone has any idle clips of this cam in a 4.8 or 5.3 and give me any likes or dislikes on it before I go ahead and order it. thanks.

It will idle like a stock cam. It is a great FI cam and will work well.

Great little cam for a blower. It will make decent hp with the turbo as will anything but there are better choices out there IMO. Something closer to a single pattern and tighter lsa will come on harder, be more responsive out of boost, have a little more sound, and still make the power up top.

Speed inc has a sale going on right now, I just ordered a TU1 for my 5.3 but I think the TU0 would be perfect for you

Yeah iv done some checking around and calling and most people are specing vary close to this cam, I think i could use a little tighter lsa myself but the rest of the spec are vary close to what im looking for, from what I read on average 20 psi of intake boost has close to 30 psi on the exhaust side so im thinking a little split might be good for hi rpm power. This cam looks vary close to the ls6 cam just a little bigger.

I have this on a blower set up and the thing i noticed the most was the top end. bud8fan is right....it seems like it just pulls forever.

Have a buddy that had the gt2-3 cam in a 6.0 with an sts 67mm turbo kit and it ran very well on 9-10psi on meth.


There is a lot more choices of cams nowadays though since the gt2-3 came out.
