Without knowing what you want, nobody can answer this.

What do you want for power, idle quality, whats the purpose of the car, how early/late do you want the power to peak.. etc.

At the minimum I'd go with the TSP 228r in a 6.0. Jegs sells a 228/230 thats about a hundred bucks cheaper than most other cams and behaves very well in a 5.7, and should behave even better in a 6.0.

You're going to need something bigger than the 224r for 450 to the wheels. The tsp 224 is a very mild cam for a 6.0.

I'm running a cam very similar to the MS3, and on my 6.0 it's none to big IMO. I'm with these guys on going a little bigger here

Order a cam made for a carbed application.
