Question 6.0 cam?

im putting 6.0 in my obs chevy.i would like to know what you guys recommend as far as a good street/track cam more track than street the truck will only be driven occasionally to work (2 miles away from home)and local cruise in. im not concerned about how high of a stall i will need since it wont be a daily driven truck. thanks in advance guys..
keep in mind motor is stock will only run long tube headers and a good tune after the cam is installed

If you are not worried about the stall you could run well into the 230's duration. But will it help you to go that high with a stock motor I don't know.

I run a texas speed tv.2 cam in my 6.0 camaro, lots of mid range to top end power.

232 234 .595 .598 on a 113 is what I have, drives real nice but at the same time pulls hard all the way to 6,600rpms.

If you chose this cam I would also think you would need 4.56 gears and 3,000 stall to make it work properly

keep in mind that you have a heavy ecsb compared to a rcsb or car....i have a tr224 with a 3400 stall and 3.73s in a rcsb and it is fun to drive around, streetable and quick too. i would say stick to a 224-228 cam for best results....good luck...rob.
