02 zo6 cam and ported stockers would be good, and be undetectalbe. If more cam is wanted then the tsp 224-228 range with 114 lsa or wider might be better for your needs.
Thanks
TSP head/cam pkg,or a vengeance racing head/cam pkg,or a patriot head/cam pkg at the ws6 store.
this truck should have 243's, id have them ported... maybe shaved and a kinda small cam210-220 duration and get it on a 114 or 116 for the kinda like stock lope. just my .02
5.3's had a diff casting # than 243 cant remember but my understanding is they had higher comp and flowed about the same when ported.
It was to my understanding when gm went to an all aluminum 5.3 on the newer trucks they came with the 243 or 799 heads. But id considet getting a converter too. My friend has a circle d 3200 in his gmc truck. With the 224/228 .581/.588 cam out of my old 5.3
cant go wrong with a 228 cam and a nice set of heads, full exhaust and tune....good power for everyday use and VERY streetable
truck is heavy ,need torque.comp 54-455-11= torque.or a TSP 220r cam/head pkg.
