Quiet cammed stalled truck I’ve got an 02 1500hd and Ive decided to replace the cam. I’m keeping stock exhaust from manifolds to tailpipe. I want a high(3000) stall converter because i think they’re fun to launch. Having the stall means I don’t really need to worry about bottom end power right? Any suggestions on a cam for me

No towing. I do daily drive it but in a small town with. No traffic. It will see road-trips though. I do have to sit and idle a lot but I’m doing that in my 7.3 right now so trying to keep it a bit quieter than that.
I’d throw the stall converter in it first and see what you think. A 3k stall will change the way it drives a lot. That and gears will completely change the way the truck behaves. Before we discuss camshafts, are you interested in changing out valve springs also?
If you know you will doing a cam, I'd do that first and then pick a convertor.
Spend the money on a good convertor like Circle D or such. It's definitely worth the extra money.
There are some things you can go cheap on when building a car. A convertor and injectors are not one of them, IMO and experience.

Ok, didn’t know engine was out. What other mods are you doing here to compliment a camshaft change? Looks like your leaving the entire exhaust alone…intake? TB? You don’t want much camshaft if everything else is being left alone. It all has to work as a combination. Interesting about the leaking freeze plugs…I’ve yet to see an LS engine leak at the plugs.
