The TSP 4.8/5.3 Stage 1 Turbo Cam is specifically designed for smaller cubic inch motors such as the 4.8/5.3 when using single or twin-turbos. This camshaft will work in stock turbo’d applications or a wild built forged motor! Our stage 1 Turbo cam is great for a stock like driving experience in turbo’d applications but with way more power over the stock cam! Our TSP double valve springs are recommended for this cam and turbo applications for extra reliability and safety, as well as our chromoly hardened pushrods. Great sleeper turbo cam!
Note: Valve Springs Required Use TSP.660 Dual Valve Springs.
