from what ive learned it looks good to me, and you dont have to have a stall but your gonna want one or else you'll run like crap as far as i know, guys have DDs with bigger cams than that like the one im installing and yes it should have a decent lope to it.

It will work,
Yes stall
Yes lope, but rough idle. It can be tuned down though.

It would be fine for a RCSB 5.3L..but yes, you would need a stall---3000 minimum!

If you are cool with buying slightly used stalls, you could pick up one for around $350-$450. But you have to be careful with buying used...you should know the truck personally. If not, there are too many "what ifs" involved... A new Yank Truck Thruster 3000 is $525.

A 112 LSA will not hurt your gas mileage enough to even shake a stick at... It is a lopey idling cam. Here is a idle clip of my 114 LSA cam.

If I drive without a care for MPG, I see 8-10. But if I drive conservatively, I can see up to 18 mixed (city/hwy). But my average is probably around 12. I should be easier on it, but is is really hard to when it runs as well as is does!
