Your gunna need a bigger stall for that cam, at least a 3200, u may be able to slide with a 3000, but preferably a 3200, also your gunna need a good tune to get it running well

I'm running a cam close to that 226 226 585 585 112 with a 2500 stall and pulling 1.7 60' times with the help of 4.10 gears. tuneing is going to be a must. The extra weight of your Z71 might need more stall.

It will work, just saying personally I think you would be happier with a higher stall. I ran a decent cam with the factory converter in my 5.3. It just lost some of its ***** in the 60'. But my et still got better.
