Yes, they can. We've been over this before. My red truck is a '97, Black Bear tuned it.
They just don't do in person tuning or scan cable tuning on them. Standard mail order tunes only.
****. I must have a memory block or something.

You could also use the GM 395 cam which will run on a stock tune, give you some cam sound and keep great low end torque for towing. Also works with the stock stall converter. Same cam used in the 350 ramjet.
Check valve spring pressures and if they check out your good. If not grab a set. Check pushrods and if good reuse. Same goes for the lifters. Grab a new timing cover and gear/chain set.
Not a whole lot involved with a basic cam only swap.
The 395 cam sounds like a stocker and idles with about 19 inches of vacuum and has great off idle torque .....I run one in my Camaro ,,,so if its sound you are after I wouldnt suggest the 395 at all ...my experience has been if you want slight sound you need at least a 260 degree duration cam FWIW .
LSA has more effect on idle chop. I had a 224/224 .581/.581 114 cam in my 5.7L LS and it had a very noticeable idle. Exhaust will also effect the sound you hear. Stock exhaust can hide a cam sometimes where as with full aftermarket exhaust even a stock cam can sound healthier.
Words of wisdom I learned long ago though, never pick a cam for sound. Pick a cam for your desired performance and exhaust for the sound your after. The combo will perform much better with a properly picked cam.
I saw WAY too many LS guys buying the biggest cams advertised only to be disappointed. Alot goes into picking the right cam for those who build for specific results. Took me personally about 2yrs to pick my LS combo in my WS6. Sure I could have grabbed a advertised H/C combo from a vendor, but I needed something different.
I made sure the cams I was looking at fit my desired performance requirements before sound, I just want to know what it sounds like for the sake of knowing.LSA has more effect on idle chop.
