i was told an LS6 cam would work in my 5.3 silverado. is this true?

i think so... ... but why would you want an ls6 cam in your 5.3?

i was told it would be a performance gain. i don't know the specifics of this cam and the difference between it and mine. i'm mainly looking for a gain in breathability, and power in my truck besides what i've already done.

If a LS6 cam is added to a 5.3 motor with a cat-back exhaust, an open-element air cleaner, some degrees of iginition added and 94 octane gas you could see over 50 rwhp and 25 rwtq gains.

That is from the CHEVY LS1/LS6 V-8s book I have.

thank you so much. now this is probably my inexperience really coming out but how is the timing changed on these motors with no distributor... through the computer programmers available?
