Question L92 Springs LS7 cam

I am looking into getting a LS7 cam for my 5.3 silverado, and a set of L92 springs also. My questions is will the cam and the springs fit on my truck?

The specs for the cam are:
Camshaft Duration:
211 degree intake / 230 degree exhaust
Camshaft lift (in):
.591" (15 mm) Intake and Exhaust

I am not that good with this part of motor work but i am trying to learn i have some info that i have recived from some members. so is that a good cam spec.

Terrible cam in my opinion for a 5.3L n/a truck. Not to mention you have a gen III motor and the ls7 is a gen IV motor. The cam position sensor among other things will be an issue. You will be much much better off getting a custom grind or at the very least get an 01-03 ls6 cam.

and for what it is worth, that valve lift is with the LS7's offset 1.8:1 ratio rockers, not our stock 1.7:1. Plus the lobe seperation angle is VERY wide.

L92 springs arent meant for performance. look into the new 918s or PRC duals

The cam would take more work than it's worth. The L92 springs should fit, but I wouldn't use them in a high lift setup.
