Ignore that guy, he doesn't know anything. Most 5.3L trucks that install a mild cam (comp 212/218) gain 25rwhp. Install a larger cam and look for larger gains. Of course, headers, intake, and other mods compliment the cam, but heads certainly are required. I'd say that there are very few guys here running ported heads, but many of us have cams installed.

They are full of it.All you have to do to your heads is replace the springs and push rods in most cases.The heads on these trucks usually do just fine.
Prob 90%of the guys on here have a cam with just the bare min on stuff they need in the heads and make alot more power.
