Default Cam for 6.0

Looking for the best possible cam for a 6.0 in a truck application.
My truck is AWD, and I would like a cam that I could run without having to get a stall even though I know they'd compliment each other. I was thinking of either a MTI C2 cam or a TR224 on a 112 lsa. Any recommendations, possible issues, etc etc?

Thanks in advance!

Best thing you can do is call the cam manufaturer and see what they recommend. Thats what I'd do.

Either one of those cams would be too large to use with the stock stall in a truck IMO.

I'm running the TR224 on a 112 in my LS1. With the stock stall and cast iron manifolds even!

Although I can only compare it to the 4.8, the motor feels very torquey to me, and drives just fine with a little tuning. I still have some hot-start issues every now and then, but for the most part it's not that big a deal. Might wanna go w/ the TR220, or a 212/218 high lift for true streetability. My truck isn't my daily, so it's not as big of a concern for me.
