Default Too big for 5.3?

I may get a 230/234 114+2 cam and wondering if that is too big for the 5.3. What size stall to get the most of the cam?

I'm asking because I can get a decent deal on it and have a yank 3000tt just laying here.

Also have 4.10 gears.

uh yea unless you run a 4000 converter. That cam would be about right in a full bolt on 6.0 Silverado with aftermarket heads.

Others may say otherwise, but that tt3000 will DEFINANTLY be too small for it.

That's what I was thinking, but I will probably get it as I plan on a full bolt on 6.0 soon.

Anyone think that 3k will be too small behind that cammed 6L? Should stall it up a little higher compared to a 5.3.

I would not put that cam in a 5.3 I would run a 3500-3800 stall in a 6.0
