It's not a bad option however there are some hotter options.
Ran one in my '99 rcsb 5.3, really enjoyed it and pulled with it the time.

You are looking for the 278mm option, sticker code is a VJCX. FYI we also have our version of the 278mm, we recalibrate it to a 3000-3200 stall and have several durability upgrades we make. And we have free shipping for the month of October, great bang for the buck.

We can do the 278 in a lower 2600 stall option and it will have all of our durability updates. Much better than the OE option.
