Default Stock Cam..?

At what RPM does the stock cam in a 5.3 stop making power?

And a little but when going 50 or 55 and step on it, not just out of overdrive, but drop a gear for passing the 4L60E in the truck jumps to about 3500rpm's, bumps, then drops to 3000rpm's and bumps again, then takes off...pretty quick interchange though between bumps....? any ideas....Thanks, just didn't want to have to post another post in drivetrain...

My stock cam for the L33 died at 5500 rpm but the L33 is a different cam than the iron block 5.3l

The cam in my LQ4, which if i remember correctly is the same as the 5.3l stock. It pulls up to 6k, but the VE table shows a quick drop in airflow above 4400 rpms. So its defiently a low-end cam.

Peak HP on most 5.3Ls hits right about 5200rpm give or take 200rpm for dyno variance.
