Eh, the ole reliable 4.8.
The cam you are looking at would work well and provide a nice bump. It'll be noticeable.
If it were me, I'd just swap out to a 6.0 before spending the coin on a cam for the 4.8. You'll need a rash of stuff to do the swap and by the time you're done, you just spent half of what a 6.0 pullout costs.

I have JUST, last week installed the Texas Speed 212/218 " Low Lift " in my 4.8
Great cam. Have a fuel system upgrade in progress, and also waiting on the jig to drill and pin crankshaft, so I have not started it yet. The 212/218 runs REAL strong in wife's 5.3L Tahoe. VERY good passing power.
