From what the cam guys have been telling me, 206 intake is as high as you want to go with a 5.3L, 210-212 intake with a 6.0L, if you don't want to lose anything down low....anything bigger than that and you'll end up wanting an aftermarket converter.

someone told me it was the lift numbers that you have to watch out for.

There have been guys putting up threads syaing how their 212/218ish cams work well without a converter but I'm sure you're going to lose some bottom end no matter what. I think you just have to decide #1 how do you want to drive the truck #2 how high do you wanna spin it.
Since I never tried a cam smaller then an 02' Z06 I can't say how the small ones work but I will say stay away from that cam or my 226cam if you wanna run well on a stock converter... But I did trap 97mph with the 226cam and headers/tune/converter on a raceweight of 4900lbs.
