It's going in an 07 Yukon 4x4 (not the xl). It's not really a DD because the company I work for provides me a truck that I drive home. It's used only for running around town and the occasional road trip. It might do some light towing every now and then. I have two other trucks to tow with nothing heavy. The truck has 3:73s and 4l60e which will be getting a corvette servo to start with until it Taks then a full work up. It still has to be streetable. My goals for the build is around 500hp.

Just curious how you think that cam would do if I put it in a stock 5.3l with just headers. 9.9 CR. how much hp am I going to lose by not going with the bigger bore?

IMO the lobe separation is a little tight. It’s gonna rock pretty good. That may not be a big deal for some folks but for a street driver it would get old. Just my .02

Thank you for the input. I'm think I'm going still go with this one if I don't like it it won't be that hard to go to a smaller one since it'll already have all new lifters and springs etc.
