Question about my cam. Why such a low lift?
So I have a 5.3 in the T/A now and I was wondering if I should use 1.8 Rockers on my set up because my cam seems to have really low lift. Its 224/230 .538/.538 114+4. Its a custom grind but why would someone make a cam with such a low lift? If I use 1.8 rockers it would take my lift to right at .570 which sounds better to me. Would I really benefit enough from spending all that money on rockers?

parks and redtan, thats kinda what I was thinking. For the price of new rockers I could get a new cam. I went with this one cause a friend sold it to me for $150 including a full set of hardened pushrods. I eventually want to add a turbo into the mix but I dont know how well such a low lift will work with it.
So you think its really killing my TQ having little lift? I mean, its more than stock but barely....

You definitely stand to gain quite a bit of torque with more lift, even on stock heads. Moreso with better flowing heads whether they be ported or new ones completely.
If all that is worth the money and effort to change out the cam then do it, but it's not like you have a bad cam in there and sounds like you got a killer deal on it. Heck, purshords alone are just about 100 bux.
