High 13's will be easy to hit with a cam, LT headers, stall and custom tune especially since you have a RCSB and 5.3L. What is your elevation btw and where are you located as higher elevation does have an impact on your times.
I wouldn't go too big on the cam especially with the TB converter. Most guys pick a 212/218, 214,220, 220/220 or close to it with 5.3's. If you got a 3000-3200 converter you could go mid 220's if you wanted.

My DD runs about a 14.4 quarter (at about 1000 ft elevation), cam, heads, LTs/exhaust, efans. This is a heavy Z71 on the stock converter. With a stall, I should be mid-high 13's. spray some N20 on top of that (depending on the shot), I'm looking at high 12's, low 13's.

Here's a fine example of what a stock cam 5.3 is capable of. Mid 13's...
