Listen to Razor. Get all of your engine mods squared away and enjoy the extra HP for the time being.

That is a great cam for a NA engine, but why not put a 'boost cam' in it if you're going through all of the trouble of swapping cams? You don't need a huge cam to make good power on a turbo charged application. A smaller cam will also allow you to run a tighter converter which will increase the drivability of your daily driver. When I went FI, my Texas Speed 220 cam came out in favor of the Isky triple 12. I'm pretty sure stock48 made it into the low 10's with that cam in a 6.0l and a lot of boost

I would need to see a slip to belive this. From what I have seen a stock 5.3 and 70mm doesn't make a 10 sec truck.

Yes. 10.99 doesn't happen on a simple build, meth, 18-20 psi. Are minimum to cracked a 10.99 unless it is a freak case.

That is a 6.0. Not a 5.3 that has lower then stock compression. Like i said it isn't completely impossible but with out a slip and better yet a video, it didn't happen.
