Yes, way to big.

You'd need so much other stuff to even want to make that cam work. Sell it and get yourself a more daily friendly cam in the 212/218ish range if you don't want to upgrade the stall converter.

Its not too big if you want make all your power at 6500rpm+. Wont be good for towing by any stretch. Would need 3400ish stall, springs, and pushrods to make it worthwhile.

In a 5.3 with stock heads that cam wouldn't peak till 7200 plus.

Would make for a decent rect port head 402-416ci NA cam.

Too big for my engine. My cam in sig peaks at 5800 rpm NA, that's high enough.
