Re: 5.3 cam question vinci ultra torque
ls6 springs are cheap and should work fine with this cam. I would make that swap at a minimum.

For that price you can get a custom cam ground. Any reason you want that one specifically?

Re: 5.3 cam question vinci ultra torque
good point I did replace mine with harden pushrods when I did the cam swap.

Not dead set on using Vinci. Just looking for a mild cam that will give me a little sound/ torque over stock and keep my fuel mileage
