I would like to know what my 6.0 with a Trex would do if i had pistons and ported heads, but that setup, think that PatG would be able to tell you what would work best.

There is probably a shelf cam that will work. The only problem is figuring out which one to use. Lots more info is needed before a cam is to be selected though. Your cam guy will need static compression numbers, head flow, intake manifold choice, spring preference, exhaust type and size, rpm range, power adders, etc. You always get your parts then select your cam and pushrods last.
