Need some help finding the right camshaft

I have a 2003 lq4 6.0l it in a 67 c 10.
The heads have been decked .025. Running stock push rods, and lifters. Have gm performance springs. Need some help making sure that I get the right camshaft. Anybody have any suggestion? Trying to do this on a budget. The guy I bought the motor and the guy put the wrong cam in it. Cam Had no reluctor. Used a ls3 cam. If any of can up that would be great thanks

Hey, welcome to the forum! I would call one of the reputable sponsors to talk about your goals and let them help. If you do some searching in this section, you'll start to figure out a few names to call.

If you don't intend to swap pushrods or springs, I'd stab an LS6 cam in it and call it good.

I've done several drop in style camshafts, and camshafts that are designed to work with LS6/LS3 valve springs.

If you'd like I can help steer you in the right direction cam wise.
