Default Cam-

Have this sitting on my shelf- Its pretty aggressive...
Comp- 238/242 605/610 113

My truck- 99' 100k mile, Stock 5.3, New HD Rebuilt 4l60e, 35" tires, Dual 2.5" Flowmster...
Is the cam to Aggressive? I have access to a good tuner and a dynojet-
I also have LS1 parts leftover from my build on my car, but doubt I would see gains-

With 35" tires and no word on regearing the axles, you bet that cam is WAY too aggressive. Look to a 206/212 or at the most a 212/218. Remember, this isn't a 3500lb car with a 5.7L. It's an even heavier than stock truck with a lesser 5.3L.
