Is it a large cam? Yes. Is it too large for a 5.3? Only you can answer that.

I have seen a few guys use a Trex cam from Thunder in 5.3's which just happens to be the same specs as you posted and they run pretty well. A firebird close to me has one in his car that has a 5.3 and it runs 11.30's on motor.

Here is even a thread I found on performance trucks/

Well I found 2 can cards in the box so I went to my local machine shop and had them measure it the correct numbers are 224/224 563/563 114 Lsa hope this makes more sense now.
