Sounds like it should work. Cam isn't what I'd run but should be ok. Is the turbo front mount or rear?

You may want to consider a fuel pump upgrade and some NGK TR6 plugs as well.

I am not a cam guy but that cam does not look right to me. Check out Vinci Performance ---------> Sponsor or Lingenfelter for an idea of where to begin for low end torque and/or turbo cam specs.

You need guages....WBO2-AFR; Fuel pressure; Boost.

You also need a boost control if you are going to be able to change it (boost that is ).

You will need traction!

Don't forget tuning.....you just didn't mention it so I will!

Looks like the beginning of a great build and you should be able to obtain 500 rwhp without any problem

Good luck and I know you will have a lot of fun with it.

That cam is probably a little big for a turbo on a 5.3. I'm running a 220/222 on a 113 or 114 LSA in my 408 and I wouldn't go any bigger. Yours has no overlap though, so it won't be too bad. Just might take a little bit to spool up. I'm sure you could spool quicker with a little bit smaller cam.

I think you can make more than 500rwhp with that setup. kbracing96 made 505/535 with his 4.8 with that same turbo and a 210/218 on 116 LSA cam at 12 psi.

It feels pretty good, it kept about the same lope.
No problems so far.
I am still working on some things and tuning, but it seems that my wastegate decided to take .
Once I have some more real day to day driving and a couple of passes at the track, I will let you know.
I am in the same boat as you, I am trying this cam and will probably swap it out in the future and see how different a turbo cam feels. Or maybe a Z06 cam.
