Default 5.3 cam/valvetrain upgrade

hey folks,
so i have a 5.3 in my 2003 suburban. mods go as follows, k&n intake system, lsxrt manifold, shorty headers, magnaflow y pipe, 2.5in. x2 cat back, e fans, and a bullydog tune (will get custom tune when this is all done).
the next logical step is valvetrain to me, so i did some research on cams and such. im leaning towards a lingenfelter gt2-3. thoughts on this? also, would i have to do anything to the bottom end for valve clearance? im open to other cam options as well, so throw them out if you have any.
thanks in advance, gents
