6.0 build I have a 6.0 with a set of 862 heads that I’m building for boost. I got a call from the machine shop today and they went 30 over and 10-10 on the crank, I’m gonna order a set of forged Ls pro pistons from summit and use my stock rods. What cam should I go with?

Here's a general questionnaire we use when someone is asking for a cam recommendation. Some of these you may have already answered in the original post.
- What is the year/make/model/engine or custom application?
- Estimated weight of the vehicle?
- What is the intended use of the vehicle? Daily, Street/Strip, Strip, Auto-x, etc?
- If it’s a truck is it a daily, street/strip, strip, daily with some towing, or tow pig?
- What fuel do you intend to use or have available?
- Are you particular about the idle? If so, do you want it smooth and stealthy, noticeable lope, or rattling windows chop?
- Are you looking for excellent driveability or are you ok to put up with some character?
- Regarding the engine. Is it all stock or have other upgrades been done or plan to be done with the cam swap? Those could be head work, new heads, new intake, headers, throttle body, etc.
- Auto or manual trans? If auto what stall converter and are you willing to change that to match the cam?
- What is the gear ratio and are you willing to change that to match the cam?
This gives you an idea of the information we look for before recommending a cam.
