So it's just a 6.0 aluminum LS2? I'd just use a medium size truck cam or small turbo cam on something like that, get some torque back as that LS7 cam isn't ideal to help the bottom end.

This motor was built with torque in mind , so I was told, dyno chart is with engine on the rig , not in the car

If you plan on using the lockup feature in the trans, depending on the speeds you cruise, prob dont want too big. I used the Summit ghost cam in my 6.0, same gearing, 28" tire, could lockup and cruise at 50 MPH with good manners.
