I'm not even going to dance around this one. That camshaft is too aggressive.
Try this one for the maximum camshaft I'd stuff into the 5.7L if this truck will be driven on a regular basis. Remember less is more when picking out your camshaft. Changing the valve timing with cams and springs can only get you so far, if later on you need more power look into nitrous or forced induction.

You're looking at a broader torque band instead of 3000-6800. Here you've got at least 1500-6800 with some form of manners at idle.

i figured it was a little big but, i found it cheap and thought id get a second opinion before jumping into something worthless.
alot of the ls1 guys are running an ms3 cam which is very similar.

I'd prolly go with something in 224-228 range and with a 112 lobe sep it will idle rough and make great power and be plenty streetable.....but youll have to have the converter to back it up,prolly somewhere in the 3200 range....
Or just get a custom grind........
