Default Thinking about a Cam Swap

I have a 1999 Sierra with a LM7.. It's my dd.
I got ahold of a stock 2006 GTO LS2 Cam & Springs..I'm thinking about throwing it in.

Here are the exact specs..

6.0 LS2 2006
204/211 int/exh @ 0.05" duration
0.525" / 0.525" int/exh lift
116.5 LSA

Here is the stock one..

5.3 LM7
190/191 int/exh @ 0.05" duration
0.466" / 0.457" int/exh lift
114 LSA

I think it should run decent on the stock tune and make a difference..

Thoughts?

Good for DD'ing or a cheap FI cam.... but better options if you're looking for performance

I'm pretty sure that cam doesn't have the reluctor ring...

It's still a 3-bolt Cam.

Well I guess it doesn't have that Cam Reluctor..damn..lol

Anyone have any ideas on a decent little torque cam?

I know if I get a LS1 Hotcam for cheap that'll definately work..

The comp low lifts are beast in these trucks. The xr265 is very proven.
