P1SC procharged 5.3 which cam? I recently bought a Silverado with a stock 5.3 that has a P1SC, intercooled, long tube headers, dual 2.5" exhaust, and 3600 stall. So my question what do I do to it next? I know I will be upgrading the fuel system and thinking about what intake/cam to go with. Maybe LS6 stuff or aftermarket? Not really trying to break the bank if I don't have to but if you fellas know of better stuff for the money I am all ears!
Thanks LS1Tech!!

We just put our Stage 1 Blower Cam in a 5.3 that we're putting in a C5 Vette with a D1SC.
Specs are 226/234 .59x/.61x 115+3. It should run very well and make great power. I normally cam 5.3's very similarly to a 5.7 as they both utilize 3.622" strokes and 6.098" rods which means they spend the exact same amount of dwell time at TDC and BDC.
Also our Stage 1 Street Heat cam which is 221/226 .609"/.605" 115+2 might work better in your heavier truck and still be great with a Procharger. Anything bigger than those two is going to make that truck a dog down low.
