Cam Gurus talk to me

Vortec350ss, will that BTR cam be too big for me. Says its: 218/224 .553/.553 113+3
...and I know Scooter picked on the GT2 but, the GT2-3 is one I've always wondered about. I've seen random posts thru the years, even in Avalanches, loving the thing. But I don't recal seeing any of them with a stall. And again I have that covered.
I'm not sure if I care about the "sound" or not. I havent had it to a drag strip yet but, probably will. I enjoy things like the link in my sig, lapping at Charlotte, and I've been inquiring at VIR about track days, so I do like to keep it wound up. But its also a DD so it needs "some" manners.
I also toss the idea around of autocrossing it, since I did quite a bit in past cars. If I can get a club to let me swing all 19 feet of it around their course.
LOL! guess all I need is the one truck to do everything. And still haul the family and look classy taking my wife out to dinner.

I ran the GT2-3 in my 5.3 for a while, it idled and drove very well, and pulled to 6400rpm or so. Very broad torque curve, but like said maybe a little soft overall.

somehow these last two are two I research most. The manners and apparent mileage of the gt2-3 sounds great. But I'd hate to sell myself an truck short. And the BTR stage 3 is the other end of the spectrum. How much more power should it make and where. And how much thirstier will it make my truck. I drive it hard a lot and see maybe 12.5 to 13.5 mixed as it is.
The Info has been great, keep it coming, please
