212/218 cut on a 112LSA
Would do great towing and work well with your 2600 stall,will still chop good ,wont kill fuel economy

why would he want that much cam with a small stall?
says he wants to tow and i saw his recent thread about fuel mileage on his 6.0
and on 33 inch tires
He needs all the bottomend torque he can get and a 212/218 cant be beat on bottomend torque
Also he why would he want a cam that pulls from 3-6500 when hes looking to tow and DD?
that 212/218 will perform just as good as a 220 cam with the correct setup

I would say 220 or less in duration with high lift. You need torque for your setup.

THe advertised rpm range is always low on the bottom side, That 220/224 is not going to make power at 1600, I would lean towards the 220/220 if those are your 2 choices.
