Default TU0 or TRIPLE 12

Hey guys I am about to put a cam in my 2011 ecsb 5.3L 4x4 with trick mp70 intercooled kit running 7psi and was just curious which turbo cam would be better, TU0 from speedinc or the ISKY triple 12. Truck is stock other than the turbo. Don't really care if it lopes alot or not just makes good power. Also do you think I should change the lifters when doing the install, hate to pull the heads off if I don't have to, but if the stockers won't hold up then I will. I don't plan on spinning it past bout 6200.

I have the tu0 in my truck and it does awesome ... and I love it. The triple 12 is also a nice cam..and stock48 ran well with it. Bottom line is you won't go wrong either way and the difference will be slight if any on a boosted motor.

yes you do will have to pull the heads and change lifters to LS7s. The factory DOD lifters will not take the extra lift of the cam.

I have a 5.3, Triple 12, and MP70. It's an awesome combo.

Your heavy truck, small turbo, and not wanting to spin past 6200, are reasons to pick the smaller of the two cams, which I believe is the Triple 12.

Paralysis by analysis. Pick one and go. The T0 might be slightly better on the top end. Trip 12 might sound better and be better down low.

Thanks for the input guys, I think I will be going with the triple 12, have heard nothing but good about it. I guess I will be getting the ls7 lifters to go with it as well. Is stock48 the only person to get in touch with as far as ordering the cam and exact specs?

Where can I find the triple 12 cam?

I was wanting to run a tu1 for the sound, but everyone keeps leaning towards this "triple 12"
