We will see what happens. I personally have no problem running the LS9 camshaft but girlfriend wants a lope like it's got now. LOL

More on overlap, or the complete lack of it in the LS9 cam's case (-25°).

You are going to find that the cam kills low end power because it is bleeding off cylinder pressure. I used the drop in static and dynamic compression to my advantage in our Procharged LS2; going from 10.9 to 10.7 static (final DCR escapes me at this time). Plus I had to wind it out to 6700 to get the most power.
You don't have a lot of compression to play with in the 5.3L. The LS6 is only marginally better at -23° but has a more suitable powerband. Honestly any mild bargain LS cam from Summit/Trickflow or Jegs is going to payoff far better. 0-8° of overlap is going to be the sweet spot.
