Re: 6.0 cam for 5.3
The stock 5.3 cam is: 191/190 - .457/.466 - 114LSA
The stock 6.0 cam is: 196/207 - .467/.479 - 116LSA
There is that much of difference. What are trying to do, get more low-end, mid-range, or top-end? BigTex seems to be the cam expert talk to him for advice.
I've got the 208/216 Crane Cam with .530/.530 lift at 113 LSA and I love it. It helped out my whole rpm range. Just my .02

Re: 6.0 cam for 5.3
YOU'LL SEE MAYBE 5RWHP FROM IT. definatly NOT worth the work involved, but if you want to do it anyways i have 3 stock 6.0 cams you can buy 1 if you'd like. if you're gonna do a swap the minimun you should do is a stock z28/ss camshaft, but the 6.0 cam would be useless.

Re: 6.0 cam for 5.3

ls1 cam. what gains to be expected from this. how bad is the idle. and where is the band

Re: 6.0 cam for 5.3
you wont lose any low end power....the cam is MINIMALLY different than the cam you currently have. it will just make a bit more power up top, and if you can tune your's it will extend your rpm
