Is their a better cam? I'm in the process of building a 6.0 for my 99 T/A auto. The car will be some what of a DD and a weekend warrior. So drive ability is important.. of course a nasty idle and huge HP is always desirable, but power under the curve is preferred.
the 6.0 is going to be N/A with 3.900 crank, dss racing 1880-4030 pistons and hand ported 799 heads ls6 intake. I think compression is around 11:1. I have a summit #8707 cam at the moment but wonder if their is better choice. Since their is a lot more experienced people on this site I was hoping to get advice!
Thanks! Eric

I have the 8707 cam in my 6.0 with 799 heads and stock truck intake. Drives awesome great power everywhere and has great drivability. I also run terminator x so I can tune everything myself

thanks for reaching out! Great to hear! I've been kicking around the idea of adapting the terminator X or HP to replace the factory ecu.. for ease of tuning.. with those two systems are you able to tune on the fly? Also can you control electrical shift trans?

stock computer is way to go. Its very easy to tune and will drive well. Not to mention youd have to piggy back for emmisions, doesn't always drive well, cost more money etc.
