Default Cam for my 6.0 swap...

Hey guys. Got a 73 impala 2 door hardtop that I'm swappin a 6.0 in and am needing some cam advise! I've been reading about all different type cams and am wanting to basically make a little street/strip machine while still retaining decent city driving. I don't really care about mileage on the highway as I'll be running a built th350 behind it with 3.73's in the rear. The car with full interior and music in the trunk (yes, that's right!) weighs right at 4200 lbs wet with me in it. I've got a barry grant 650 street demon with vac secondaries that I'd like to use with the Vic Jr and MSD box, but will up the size if necessary. I plan on running a 3000 stall, as well.

What would you guys recommend? I was looking at the torquer v2 as it's about as aggressive as I would go due to the weight of the car. Let me know what you guys think!

I wouldn't think I'd need a larger carb due to the duration being under 240 and me not spinning past 6500. Let me know!

Same cam as I have. TR224 on a 112. Should give you good bottom end and peak about 6100 RPM. Make sure to get your compression near 11:1 and it should be a stout piece.
