Default LS Truck cam selection help

I got a buddy I work with convinced to start modding his truck. He's interested in a cam for it. He's not looking for a rowdy cam, but a mild cam because this is his daily driver.

He mentioned the Crane cams because he saw that they offer pre-cut programs for their cams with their handheld tuners.

He's plenty mechanically inclined, and between him and I we can get the job done, but are there other streetable cams to consider on the market?

Lots of info on this over at Perfromancetrucks.net, but for a quick/general answer, anything from a 216/224 thru 224/224 on a 114 or 115 LSA seems popular. We have an actually sticky on this subject: THE Cam Thread for Truck motors

Is he looking into a stall also? If so, he has alot more options.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the info. The truck is a 5.3L if that matters any.

for that truck I would use the LPE cam Cory had in the Hummer. You do not even really have to tune for it
