MS4 cam in 5.3L auto truck
What is needed for this to work? (type of springs, tune, rod bolts, length of pushrods?)
Will LS6 springs work?
Will this be a good cam for a 5.3L auto in an ext. cab silverado (5500lbs) with 4.11 gears and a 2600rpm stall?
Thanks in advance for all the help.

I suggest a smaller cam with that stall and as heavy as your truck is, it will suck down low.

That is way too much cam for a 5.3. Even the TR230 in my opinion is too big. Given the weight of the truck and the smaller displacement of the 5.3 I wouldn't exceed 224 duration. Even that may cost you some bottom end. This question would get better results in the truck forum.
