Turbo Cam Spec?! WHP/Trq Est.?
I just got my Cam ordered from Martin @ Tick Performance
223/223 .617 .617 114+5
Details about Truck:
*2003 AWD SS Silverado*
Stock Long Block w Thicker Head Gaskets
Tick Custom Grind Cam (223/223 .617 .617 114+5)
Trick Performance Stage 1 Kit Intercooled (No Meth) 8-10lbs <Depends on how the Tuning goes (93 Pump Gas)
60lb Injectors
Yank 2800 Stall
Built 4l65e
Truck realisticly only needs 480-500 Wheel and as much Trq as I can get my sticky hands on
Stock Weight, Daily Driven
Really hope Im not taking the fun out of my Daily Vehical and leaning on it to hard, I do enjoy the Drivability of the Truck and its alot of fun thats for sure.

Cam looks good from here.
Honestly the hp depends a hell of a lot more on the rest of the combo than the cam with a turbo. That said I see no reason you won't reach or exceed your goal of 500 wheel hp with a 10# turbo set up. And the stage 1 will spool really fast. I don't think it will have huge power capability with that turbo though.

It was after I saw smokeshow's TT dyno with the triple 12 that I got fed up and swapped to that cam myself.
I knew from my experience on this forum years ago when small cams were the norm that for a street vehicle they make way more power under the curve in the daily rpm range. Hot Rod mag did a test on several cams in a stock 6.0 years ago. The difference in under the curve torque between the 210/218 and even the next size up, 216/224 (still considered a baby cam in a 6.0) was staggering.
JMO, the larger the size of cam you go on a street truck, the more of a compromise it is. Yes, you will still make great power on paper, but with the smaller cam you can have your cake and eat it too.
