i agree that the cam choice there would be too big. in order to use that cam you're certainly going to want to do a little work on the heads including milling them. that big of a cam is going to need some compression. you'd also want a 4000+ stall and a shift point between 7200-7500....

i am with everyone else.
i have a 234/232 115 and in a na 6.0 it was a prety big cam. at least a 4000stall for that set up. in a 6.7L it is a quite a bit more mellow. i think a 5000stall for the cam you mentioned in a 5.3. thats just not practical.

Especially in a 5000lb truck. I would think if you're going for 7000+rpm and with that cam, you might wanna get a rev kit assuming its a hyd. roller.
