L92 Cam selection for truck application Well im trying to do research for my cam selection but most of the threads ive been looking at dont have relevant information for my application. I have a 1988c1500 that weighs about 4000lbs, has 3.73 rear gears and 30 inch tires. The l92 is going to be paired witb a t56 and given that i want a cam that offers responsiveness when needed in the lower to mid rpm range.
I see a lot of cams make peak power around 5k+.
I personally dont want to be flooring it everytime i want to get power to the pavement. Does anyone with a similar set up to mine have a cam suggestion?
i want to keep the l92s VVT and upgrade the springs.

I've done couple of LS swaps with L92's dressed to look like a LS3. 73 Camaro and 80 Camaro.
I used the same cam on both. Texas Speed. 220I/225E .600 lift 114 C/L. They have a bit of a lope but have enough vacuum for power brakes.
I did delete the VVT on both swaps.
The other thing to consider is your tire diameter and rear end gearing. On my 68 C10 LS6/T56 small cam swap I ran 4:10 gears. 20" wheels. Rear tires were 285/40. Plenty of low end torque with the T56 and 4:10's.
