Aint that the truth brother! My Circle-D 258mm multi-disc flashes to 3k behind my current mild 5.3, and I want more! I'm thinking of taking it from it's current 2b status to a 2c if and when I csn ever afford my LQ9 swap...even though going from a 5.3 to a 6.0 alone will raise the stall about 200-400 RPM...

Its no baby cam thats for sure! 
Im running 3.73s on a 29in tire, right now i just have a reworked TB stall (2500) it came with the built tranny i bought off of a buddy. I just swapped the 5.3 into the truck in place of the V6 back in november so im still working out some kinks/ upgrading parts. I plan on going at least a 3200ish stall though, preferebly bigger.

For all you guys running EPS cams, make sure you check your push rod length. I had to get 7.425 to get proper pre-load due to the smaller base circle of the EPS cam. Might just be my cam design but it never hurts to ask. (I use OEM 1.7 rockers)
Geoff or Pat G can answer this question for you. Pat puts the proper push rod length on his spec sheet.

Dam can't believe its been 5 months and I haven't intalled this dam cam!... but still haven't seen anyone else running it on a 5.3 with the tighter lsa .. just thought I would bump it up.. I might just make a new thread after the intall but thought I would let u guys know its going in Saturday. And hopefully dyno tuned next wed...

I have mine installed. Problem is it's installed in an engine that's sitting on an engine stand. I've been waiting for your *** to get results so I know what to look forward too.
