Default 372 truck motor cam help

hey guys,

Getting ready to start the build on the 372 for my 2006 crew cab short bed 1500. It'll be a street truck, 4/6 drop, no towing. I have it narrowed down to 3 cams.

1) Ed Curtis custom grind (similar to SSTQ) 220/226 .608/.601 @ 111
2) Tick Performance SNS stage 1 223/227 .610/.590 @ 111
3) BTR stage 4 V2 truck cam 224/230 .553/.553 @ 109

Engine will be mostly stock, heads touched up, around 10:1 compression. Curb weight of the truck is 4900 lbs

Any help is greatly appreciated. Also, if you have reasons or justifications for your choice, I would like to hear those as well.

Honestly a stage 2 truck cam would be the best from the dynos I have seen in a 5000lb vehicle
The summit 8720 truck cam would be my pick

the SS2 would require a converter wouldn't it?
