yea just go with a cam that has a decent amount of lift(around .560-.590) and you won't need new rockers.

Anything below a 224/224 on a 114 in a 5.3L will most likely pass emissions.

its going into a lq9 that i swapped in to my rcsb, so that alone is going to be a hassle. i just bought the zo6 cam and springs i hope it is going to worth it.

I don't think you will be all that satisfied with that cam in a 6.0. You put a 6.0 in there so you might as well put a little more cam in there...but then again, it isn't my truck...
