Hey guys and gals, trying to find out if anyone has upgraded to an LS6 cam in there 5.3? I have one and was told all I need is new shorter pushrods? Sound right? Thanks for looking and any part numbers would be greatly appreciated.

Use the stock length rods, go to hardened for security. 7.400"

I currently run that cam and the only thing I changed was the valvesprings.

for '02 and up LS6 cams, you need longer push rods as the cam is ground on a .050 smaller base circle.

Yup, due to LS6 valve stem height.

Let's face it, the red hair... makes 'em wet.
I think I am going to hold off on cam swap. Im getting too much conflicting info,,,lol. I am just going to focus on getting the swap itself done then decide from there what to upgrade. Thanks for the help.
i wouldnt do it, not worth the money for labor...unless ur installing it urself than the labor is free....i have a friend who ran a 14.2 fully bolt on and then installed the LS6cam and stayed exactly the same, no power gain.
