That cam is huge for a camaro which weighs a lot less than your truck. In a big heavy truck like yours it will be a dog. I would have Kip from cam motion or Martin from Smallwood racing spec you a cam for your setup. And you have a 5.3. I don't even think that cam would have enough ptv clearance.

Thanks Gagliano7. I have another question. I'm thinking of getting a core short block 6.0L now someone told me that if you put 5.3L heads on a 6.0L it moves the comp ratio to like 11.0 to 1 is this even close and will the 5.3L heads work on a 6.0L?

The 5.3 heads will work and it will bump the compression up, because the combustion chambers are smaller..... But you may want to look into some bigger valves in the 5.3 heads too....
