Fellas, keep in mind it's going in a truck! Between these heads not wanting a ton of camshaft, and it being a heavy truck Danny isn't going to enjoy a 25x intake duration camshaft!
I still think the MS3 or MS4 would be fun, Danny...particularly with that gear/stall!

For an L92 truck, you want strong low and mid-range torque. As mentioned, the L92s don't like a lot of overlap nor do they need lots of intake duration. With Pacesetter headers and an untouched exhaust port, you're going to need plenty of exhaust duration though.
I'd recommend a 226/238 .609/.607 114LSA +1 advance.

Just a few years ago we all ran 224/224 cams in our 346's. A few of use made into the 10's. So I don't think you should overcam for a few peak HP. It's a truck, use it like one.
