You must be paying someone to do the swap. A camshaft swap done yourself could be done for far less.

Go bigger on the camshaft, 212/218 is pretty much a tried and true size that offers good increases.

That cam in a 6.0 is kinda small to be honest, 212/218 is not large at all. It's a medium cam that can still use the stock torque converter.

I would suggest slightly larger fuel injectors to make sure you got enough fuel up top.

• How much towing or heavy loads do you plan to do?
• What is your rear gear ratio?
• What diameter tires do you have?
• Keeping the stock torque convertor?
• Stock exhaust manifolds, shorties, or long tube headers?
• What is the max rpm you plan to shift at?
• Willing to give up very low end for more mid-range and/or top end?
• Okay with giving up a little fuel economy?

To simplify things, think of the various levels of BTR truck cams as designed around the common 5.3L displacements. As you go up to a 6.0L you can shift them down a "level."

• The Truck Torque probably wouldn't necessarily give up power (extra lift and increase in intake duration should still actually improve it slightly), but you may get a little too much cylinder filling on the low end and find needing to pull out timing under heavy load to avoid pinging. Power band would be like a diesel.
• The BTR "Stage 1" would be the equivalent of a "Truck Torque" in a 6.0L More torque starting from just off idle on up. Very responsive at part throttle. Less downshifting on grades. Big gains in the midrange, and even some modest (but noticeable) gains up top. Probably run out of breath in the high-5k rpms. Quite possibly improve fuel economy if you kept your foot out of it. Very satisfying if low and mid-range is most important to you. Pull crazy-hard even with the stock convertor from a dead stop or low rpm. If you tow something, you'll almost forget it's back there.
• The BTR "Stage 2" would act like a "Stage 1" in the 6.0L. Near-stock driveability. Small torque loss compared to stock below 2500rpm, but then increasing above that and carry up to at least 6k rpm, with even more upper power than the BTR Stage 1 specs. Still work well with stock convertor as a good daily driver. Still tow-friendly. Not a race car, but lots of fun if you like to step on it and are willing to take advantage of the full power sweep.
