Default cam? for tsp headed 6.0 recommendations

i have 6.0 lq9 that i'm building with arp rod bolts and tsp 2.5 5.3 heads. i want a cam that will pull up to 7k but still have plenty of low end torque. anyone with similar combo have any suggestions. anybody know if the t-rex would be good for this combo? i just know it pulls all the way to 7k. anyone? by the way it's gonna see spray too.

Are you willing to flycut the pistons? I'll be interested to see the responses to this thread, I'm building a 6.0 with the same heads only I'm doing forged rods/pistons so I'll already have 4cc valve reliefs. I'll probably go custom grind with 24x/24x duration and .600-.625" lift.

If you want something that breath in the 6500+ range and retains nice bottom end and mid-range power, I'd consider our TorquerV3 camshaft. Its aggresive intake lobe helps make great area under the curve, and it's still bi enough to breath up top too! There are handfuls of dyno graphs for this heads/cam combo in the dyno results forum too!

Let me know if I can help with your build!

Your best bet is to talk to PatrickG and have hime spec you a cam...it will cost you a few dollars over an off the shelf cam but you will get the results you want.

I had im spec my cam and it made great power for a small cam and runs great!

A cam that makes power till 7k isnt going to have a monster low end. Out of the cams you suggested id say look into the Tsunami, im curious of it myself but havent seen any track times from it. The torquer is also a good cam and will be the best low end of the three.
