212-220 557/564 on a 118 lsa . This is going in a 99 rcsb 4.8 stock heads,patriot golds. Mpt 70/.96ar I plan on running 10-12lb no meth, 4l80e w hd2, converter is undecided. Looking for that good old 500rwhp like all the other cool kids.

Should work just fine, but there is really not a need to have a split cam or such a wide lsa. A 212 212 on a 112 would make the same power but spool a little quicker.

I was looking for an Ls6 cam and this one popped up in the classified. I got a good deal on it,you know the routine. I would love to run up on one of Stock48's grinds on the cheap.

If you want a good off the shelf cam check out the speed inc TU0. Should work well for you. The cam you posted will get you there too but Im biased to speed inc turbo cams lol

Should work well, although there may be more ideal cams. Some people are turbo'ing LS9 cams which have LOTS of split and very wide LSA. Probably because they are so cheap, ~$110 new. But again probably not ideal for a turbo, but better than stock.

Once in boost turbo cams are not vary picky, can't say I've ever seen much of a power gain from one cam to the other, just keep in mind you want to match the cams power curve with the turbo. If you have a 70 mm turbo with a 64 ex wheel you will spool around 3500 and tap out by 6500 in a 4.8 so find a cam that will pull there if it were a na 4.8. Seen way to many people run230s cams with tiny ex wheel.
