I don't think you realize how much time you spend in the "bottom end". The same arguement I heard when I rode motorcycles and I would change the gearing. They would always say, won't it hurt my top end? I would say yes, but ask, do you spend more time accelerating or riding at top speed? You build it for this max top end power it will haul but won't be much fun just driving around town. Plus us a lot more gas because you will have to be so high in the rpms to get up to speed. That cam might be a max torque cam, but at what RPM?? Just seriously think about it before you order it. Unless you are building dyno queen, I am sorry I am building a truck with good power and useful to me as a DD. My cam in my 408 is smaller than that. It is a 236/236 .617 114 lsa just a thought. Look what people are running that are so fast

 

I looked it up on comp and it doesn't say anything about max torque, or 4.8 or 5.3L engines.

DESCRIPTION:


HYDRAULIC ROLLER-Good street/strip camshaft with wide range. Must have substantial airflow upgrades, inlet & exhaust.

 

I would run something like a 224/224 or maybe a little bigger. Unless it was a RCSB toy and it damn sure wouldn't have a 6.0. It would have a large by huge LSX or LS3 400+ cubes with a power adder. I don't think a 3k stall will be enough for that cam. If you don't care about bottom end why run only a 3k stall and not a 3800 or 4k which would love that cam.
