Default 5.3 cam recommendations...

For truck in sig. Want a decent motor cam but will also occasionally use nos and eventually turbo charge. Is there a cam that I could go with and later spray it and eventually turbo without changing cams again?
Thanks

You need to look into a custom grind.

Depends on how serious you plan on getting with the spray and boost. Almost any decent cam will make more power than stock boosted or sprayed. I think something like a TR220, any isky cam, or a speed inc turbo cam would be fine. However, max effort you will need different cams for each build.

Ls6 cam is what's gonna work best for your 5.3 turbos like stock to mildly stock cams but the ls6 cam is the most affordable and plentiful cam you can get for a soon to be turbo truck
