camming a truck i have an 03 avalanche with a 5.3 in it. Im looking for a little bit more power.
i was thinking about puting a stock c5 cam in it. reason being is that i can do it for free. my friend and i did a h/c swap on his 99 vette, and he said i can use his stock stuff.
anyone think it would be worth it?

For the amount of work there plus gaskets, ls2 chain, oil pump, I don't think
that cam has much if any more to offer than the truck cam. At least find a
good used ls-6 cam or perhaps a 210-216 comp cam w/springs & pushrods
either of these sticks would be worth about 25 more horse

You need something with a much tighter LSA to get that truck moving. I like TR's old man truck cam, just ground on a tighter lsa like a 114 or 112 even.
I'd say something like a 212/218 114lsa or for something slightly bigger with more thump a 218/220 112lsa cam. Keep both in the .52x/.53x lift and you have a set-up that makes great under the curve power will pull to 5800-6000 rpm and not eat up springs.
