I plan on adding cam/valvesprings/headers/ORY/tune within two weeks. Will I be able to compete against the mighty 8.1L when it comes to towing? I keep hearing I should have looked for the 8.1L instead of the 6.0L for towing.

The allison robs a lot of torque away from the 8.1L. I would take a 80E behind the 8.1L anyday. A Duramax and Allison make a great combo. We have owned both combinations, and the 8.1L with a 80E seem to have a little more get up and go then the 8.1L Allison.
