you probably want a cam that makes good low end torque for a heavy truck.if you are using a stock converter you don't want too big of a cam.check thunder racing or Texas Speed for cam pkgs.check out comp cams camquest ,try different cams to find 1 you mite like.

If you want to stay with a stock converter, the Comp Cams 212/218 is a popular truck cam. Combine it with LS6 springs and hardened pushrods for a tried and true combo.

My first cam was a 212/218, and I drove it without a converter for about 2 weeks. Wouldn't do that again. I'd do a converter first, and a TR220 on a 112, if I was to do it over...
