I took the specs from the GMPP catalog, page 210.

You still need new springs and pushrods. I wouldn't waste the money on swapping to an LS6 cam. IMO, the money and time isn't worth the payoff in performance.

What mods do you have done to your 5.3l? I know exhaust and intake mods really do well with a cam swap.
