depends on the duration and advance but if the heads are unmilled you shouldnt have a problem.

Slowverado might be able to help on this one. He installed a 112 sobe sep angle cam on his 02 silverado. According to him, it was running on stock tune for a whle.

Default Cam

I just bought the cam slowverado was running. It is a 216/218 .535 lift on a 112. I am putting it in a 6.0, but he said it was great for him I will let you know.

I'm running a 226/.535/112 in my 5.3L

With 02' Z06 springs I had too much lifter preload so I use rocker shims for now but will need to put some 7.350 pushrods in the lessing the load a bit. Other than that and some serious tuning to get it to idle I have no problems with it and it makes great power considering my stock catback and no realy dyno tuning.

Checked my plugs while I regapped them and they looked great also. I had them at .035 for the nitrous but all my nitrous buddies told me to openm em up to .045 for a bit more N/A power. I dyno'd with the TR6s @ .035.

This thing is lumpy as hell! I love the way it idles now!
