I also have a early ls1 ca. 0965
Specs are 198/209 .500 / .500 119.5 lsa
Which cam would be a better option for a mild 5.3 cam upgrade?

What's the rest of your setup look like? Weight, final drive gearing, and transmission all play a significant role in cam selection.

That really depends on the rest of your setup. Both cams will be very mild in the 5.3. The 0965 has a later intake closing which will help it make a little more top end horsepower at the sacrifice of a little low end and mid-range tourqe over the 1721.

The engine is goin into a 68 shortbox c10 that I'm converting to all wheel drive.
weight is around 4k, final gearing i think will be 3.73 and using a 4l60e transmission
