Default 6 liter Lq9 in going in the truck...what cam to use? already used the search tab lol.

my 5.3 motor went out and Im in need of a new motor...I'm searching for an lq9, but while the motor is out, I'm going to go ahead and throw a cam in there.

I do not regularly race my truck....if someone is acting a jackass, i'll put the pedal down on them, but i do not actively race it. I sometimes tow cars and haul stuff. I don't plan on a converter just yet (if i do it'll be a 2600 or a 3200 yank stall but i need a cam that will work with stock verter) I would like more power throughout the powerband, as well as more torque. The truck currently has ASM longtubes and x pipe, true duals magnaflows. Plan on doing electric fans this summer.

I am wanting suggestions on cam's for the 6 liter lq9... please help me out!!! lol i've been out of the game for almost a decade so I'm not as savy as I once was when it comes to all these things hehe..

thanks a ton!!!

Nate.

Sure seems like you get more help if you have an ls1, than an lq4/9. The 6.0l must be the "red headed step child". HEEEE.
