My brother put a Z06 cam in is 2000 5.3 truck this past weekend and it definitly pulls harder up top. He says the bottem end feels about the same. It has a very stock like idle, but you can hear a slight chop in the exhaust note. If you didn't know it was in there you probably would think its stock.
if i ran a z06 cam do i have to upgrade everything that i would if i sawpped in a larger cam?

Idle like stock unless your tune is leaning it out at idle. I learned that by searching on here and watching a guys videos..chopped like hell and didnt know why. Checked the tune..it was lean. Tuned it and idles like stock.
I am also doing this swap into my 5.3L soon. I have the cam and springs just gotta get a motor that doesnt have 275,000 miles on it. Anyways, I chose this because I doesnt require a tune, it was a cheap upgrade, and it will not chop and tell folks what you got. Also when a truck/car is camming like hell , people expect it run to like hell. Stock idle...but quicker than stock = money maker.

betwwen the 2 LS6 cams, which one will be the best for a stock trans. Maybe a servo will be added on mine. This is my dd so I cant sacrifice the trans. How will these cams, work with a cai, and a tune be?? Outcome wise. Lookin to get some more out of my 5.3.

Most people opt for the newer version. I love my 212/218 lowlift. Almost doesnt have a chop...
There are cheap packages like mentioned before. I bought my LS6 Cam and springs for 225 shipped. I kept the springs and went with the bigger cam.
I have the LS6 cam for sale. PM me if interested.
