Yes, the ASA cam would be a nice choice. http://sdparts.reachlocal.com/?scid=..._id=5873201138 Enter ASA cam in their search box.

with the ASA cam you can retain the stock push rods.look at comp 54-408-11,it will need comp 918 springs and harden push rods.or look at a TSP 220r cam pkg with 114 lsa.

^^^^^^^^^^^^had same cam in a 4x4 rcsb 5.3. Ran great, used ls6 springs. Made mid 280's on a dyno jet with great low end. I did advance it a few degrees to get the rpms down. I trapped 95 with 5000lb weight. If I did it again is go custom, the new lobes are much better now.

Thanks for the info, was there a lot of cam surging with the smaller cam?
