The LQ9 is the same as the 01-04 LS1 cam, don't waste your money. There is also different programming or C/R on the 5.3 HO, if memory serves it is a 93 Octane only set-up which means it is either running higher compression or more agressive timing. You could take a stock 5.3 and get it to the 5.3 HO specs with a couple bolt ons and tuning. IF you are going to bother with a cam gof or a whole package. For a DD I highly recommend thunder racings 224/224 cam with a 114 LSA. Makes good power, idles nice and gets decent gas mileage. What are you looking for out of the truck?
