You may want to look through performancetrucks.net for more info, Its all trucks. But for a quick suggestion id look in to a 216/220 112lsa or maybe 220/220 112lsa. If you go anybigger your low end will suffer too muck for the weight of the truck.

I am running a texas speed 220/220 581/581. It was recommended by a texas speed employee. I just got the vehicle running so can't give dyno results yet but I know it has a noticeable idle and drives really well. Also this is on a carbed vehicle swap in an old car.

do u have any future plans with the truck? with your gearing and stall ur set up to get a pretty good grind. I had a friend that ran 13.2@102 hitting the limiter on several shifts in his 4.8 this was with a 224r cam 112lsa with 3200 stall and 410s. If you look on the truck forum u will c plenty go with 220 or 224s the baby cam in my sig is a very good starting point specially for what i wanted to do.

I think a tr-220 would be a good choice.
