I’ve got a buddy who is about to drop a bigger cam in his 2004 c5 z06 (5.7). as well as long tube headers. The stock parts are mine if I want them. So my question is how compatible are his stock cam and headers to my 99 k1500 5.7?

And what exactly would the bigger cam do to my truck?

They will not. His 5.7 would ba a gen III LS6 compared to our gen I L31 engines. The cam will be larger diameter as well as set up for a different firing order. The headers will have the wrong bolt pattern and port spacing. Sorry for bearing bad news.

Also the LS6 grind gives up a lot of bottom end so even if you did have an LS you probably wouldn't want that cam in a heavy truck.
