gm hot cam in a 5.3 and what tuning is needed
hello i have a 2002 seirra 1500 4x4 5.3l. i am curious how much power is stock form, i am considering doing a cam swap, headers cold air kit. but i am wondering what tuning has to be done with the hot cam. and with the hot cam kit can i use the 1.8 rockers. i have the lt4 hot cam in my 89 camaro and i like the power band and was concidering an upgrade on my truck. any information would help thank you.

I don't have any personal experience with it myself, but from what i understand the performance isn't that great out of it. It probably won't work too well with a stock converter either.

The hotcam will pretty much suck in your truck. Just being straight with ya 
There are alot better Cams out there that will make more hp and drive alot better.
Your truck right now is probly putting out 240rwhp in a 2nd gear pull from what I've seen.
