cam in a 5.3

i got on the texas speed, and thunder racing site found 63-ls-212/218 cam seemed to be a good candidate, couldnt seem to find the lift specs on the site or anything, and also it just said works well with crane rockers. nothing about spring recommendations, and i couldnt find a cam kit that cam with everything in one bundle.

I would suggest getting just a 212/218 low lift cam, LS6 springs, and pushrods separately if you are going that route as you can find the springs for 70$ and rods for 110 there by getting you in under 500$.
With NP you just order the tune with all your specs. They send a freshly tuned PCM to you and you mail your old one back. No down time and very simple as you only pay shipping on the PCM for retunes.

Sounds good to me. with this set up would the 2600 stall be too much? If so its no big deal bc as of right now i havent bought it yet a friend bought it for his truck and never used it, so i was going to get it at a good deal.

That would most likely be a great stall for that cam although if you are getting a 2600 stall. Although personally if it is in your budget I would get a bigger cam to match that stall. A jump to say a tr224 or something like that wouldn't be out of the question with a decent stall like the one you are talking about getting anyways. Just my opinion. To keep it on a budget stick with the 212/218 and ls6 springs. On a bigger budget with a stall go bigger on the cam.
