dude that is a freakin big cam for a 5.3! idk if u would want that, i'm about to install the tr224, i would say from wat ppl say on here u would be better off with a tr224. because u would prolly need a bigg stall, but the bigger the cam the more head work u will need, like port, polish, shave, etc. hope this helps

With a cam that big, would you need to increase the injectors as well?
