Bigger because you have a 3600 stall, you want it to lope hard, you want it to pull nice and strong, and because I wish I had a bigger cam in my big heavy under-geared and under-stalled truck.

That cam will work good though. Especially since you're going from a weak 350 to a cammed 6.0, you'll love the end result.

i say with the 3600 verter go with a 228/228 it will be fine for being streetable if its tuned good. if you get a 112lsa it should cutup like a champ and give that sound you want... im running a 224/224 in a 6.0 with a 3400ish verter and im gunna step up alittle higher with the cam this winter

Same exact cam I have in my 5.3l. Sounds like it should be a good set-up

Oh yeah. When I drove the truck almost everyday it drove just fine... just needs a good tune. Idle should be better and easier to tune since it will be going into a 6.0 instead of a 5.3l. I love the cam.
