I think this is close to what I want. What size stall would I need if I was gonna run this cam in my truck?

That cam is a proven performer in the 4.8/5.3 trucks. Retains low-end and adds power up to 6000 rpms. The "torquey" cams like the 206/212, 208/216, 210/218 & 212/218 are what really gets these trucks moving. Plus these size cams have great driveability. My old crane cam (208/216-.530/.530-113+5) I had in my 5.3 had an awesome lope to it. I had compliments all the time. From a 20-25mph punch not too many people could hang on the street. That's where that mid-range torque really came in hand. It made 288/296 at the wheels in second gear through the cats and full exhaust. Horsepower peaked at 5600 & stayed flat until 5800. Dyno-graph is in the link in my sig.
If you do get that cam, get it on a 112 or 113 lsa. It'll pull a little harder in the mid-range and lope a little harder. Don't forget some pushrods & good springs. Whatever cam you do go with, you'll love it compared to the 99' cam! Good Luck!

I'm having my ported 5.3 heads installed in a week or two and will be getting a dyno tune by a reputable guy. We'll see what it puts down then...

Yup, its an 05 single cab. Well see some better results when chev5.3 goes with almost the same setup but with a bigger TQ and 3.90's.
