I would look into the truck cams from BTR. They have great springs and and great cams. Call Brian ..... He might even custom spec you a cam to suit your needs. It's only 25 bucks extra to get that did.

Also skip the rockers. This isn't a gen 1 that needs a rocker swap

If you are changing cam then pushrods should be measured for and replaced, lifters are up for debate.

I would call someone other than Comp or Summit for a cam recommendation BTR would certainly be better.
