208/214 high lift cam My brother has a 2000 chevy 2500, 4X4 pickup with the 6.0L and auto trans, only mod is a magnaflow muffler and no catalytic converters. He's interested in increasing power from idle to 5200 rpm,s , I think a 208/214 high lift (in the .550's) on a 114+4 comp cam would work well for his needs. I just wanted to run this by you guys to see if you think this would work for him.
Thanks
Thanks

That cam on a 6.0L should be a stump puller if my assumptions on the cam specs are correct. I run a 206/212 .515/.522 112lsa installed on a 112 icl in my 5.7L. The torque increase is right off idle

Here's the cam info page from performancetrucks: http://www.fastruck.net/caminfo.htm
Vinci has a bunch of truck cams, and Thunder Racing has this one that's intended for trucks:
Thunder Racing Custom "Old Man Truck" Camshaft - 214/220 .600/.525 115+2 LSA This is the perfect cam for someone looking for a stock range power band and stock sounding idle. Significant horsepower gains throughout the RPM range. No computer tuning required. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended.

Remember, a 6.0L will swallow a larger cam a little easier than a 5.7 (or even a 5.3L). Remember that when getting cam advice. You can go about 10 degrees more in duration than what would work well in a 5.3L.
I would recommend at least 212 in intake duration. You can keep the LSA at 114 if you like. You just want to put some advance in it to keep the peak power and torque down low. A 214/226 .559/.570 114 (+4) would work well if you're running exhaust manifolds.

OLD thread, but a good question. Any cam gurus wanna chime in on this?
