Street "cruising" I may take it to the track once or twice but I don't plan on racing an ECSB on the track. I would've kept the single cab if that was the case. I want something that sounds good cam wise and will get out in front of most cars/trucks that pull up next to me. All in all just a fun "street truck".

Dyno numbers aren't my biggest concern. Hell I never even put my old H/C 5.3 on a dyno before I got rid of it. I know it ran great on the street and that worked for me.

I would run the cam you have now, I dont see any reason to change it if it works good. Im running the speed inc TU1 in my 5.3 (225/225 .581/.581 113lsa) and I love it. Great power out of boost and it just screams in boost. Im only at 9-10psi right now and I have no doubt Im making at least 500rwhp and it lopes real good too
