Default Cam selection advice

Hi, i have '99 RCSS with 5.3 and 4l60e
I want to select cam for the build, my goal is 300whp, i think any cam with 5.3 will give to me.
I will use the truck for DD, offroad, and occasionally racing, and i would prefer little lope it and the ability to make it quite like stock.
My search narrow down to these cams:
- BTR truck norris 212/22X, .552/.552, 107 LSA
- TSP stage 3 low lift truck cam 216/220 .550/.550 112 LSA
- Cam Motion stage 2 truck cam 206/210 .553/.553 115+5 LSA
- Cam Motion titan 2 cam 212/220 .553/.553 112 LSA
- Cam Motion lil lope cam 216/224 .553/.553 108 LSA

i will install stall for the 60e with transgo hd2,

So what you think i should take, and if you can tell my why you choose whitch i will be thankful,


Udate info:
tiers 30
diff 3.73

Appreciate any info

Thanks

also depends on your tire size & diff gearing. i was running 33s with 4.30s (granted, mine was also a 5spd) and had lots of fun with my 219/224 .551/.551 113°

if you've got taller gears and/or a tighter converter, you'll want something smaller to get the bottom-end torque back.

The truck norris no springs required cam is a great camshaft.
Big heavy trucks dont like cams.
Big heavy trucks really like 8 psi from a turbo on stock engines.

Sorry meant the Titan. I just like that one the best on paper for a 5.3 where the tires and gears aren’t listed.

Maybe if I remember when I get home I will throw all of these in the computer and which performs the best

Cammotion Titan 1 LS Truck 208/214 .553/.553 110+4. Good low end, but will still pull past 6k.

Kind of a rough guesstimate of your power with all the listed cams. I should have stuck with my first answer on that Cam Motion Stg 2. That would be my pick. The low end power on that thing is awesome.
The cams on the right side of the photo are reverse what you posted in the OP.

This is all on a stock 5.3 with full accessories and headers instead of manifolds.


Funny thing about Cam Motion that is really scummy, read the print of that photo showing you the power gains. Notice they are using a Gen IV 6.0 rather than a 5.3 to make it seem like you are making a **** ton of power...
