The one in my sig is the result of me asking the same exact question and doing lots of research. Expecially with those big diameter tires, you don't want to lose ANY torque down low, which is what you risk doing with a cam any bigger than about 206/212. Call Terry at Cam Motion, he will hook you up.

VHP 044 or 047
Comp 206/212
Crane 1449555 (same as VHP 044)

all will give you great low-end to spin the big meats you have planned

How about an '02 Z06 cam? Sounds like what you guys are recommending...

That cam should work pretty well in a blown 6.0 like you have.....in a stock stalled/geared NA 5.3 with 35's it would be a DOG
