Default Biggest cam in a 5.3

Who knows of the biggest cam in a 5.3? I know GreySilver was running a big one but I don't remember exactly what it was.

I'm thinking of going a different route with the truck and getting rid of the blower. I've got the cam in mind but I wanna hear thoughts on this before I let the cat out.

What kinbd of times are head/cam 5.3's running too?

What's the reasoning behind getting rid of the blower?

v8 .. that's pretty promising for what i had up my sleeve. I'm thinking a considerable bigger cam and some sweet heads.

Moving back to a 60e and a loose converter is gonna help a lot too.

BTW, who makes that cam.
