what do you want to do with the truck? DD?
something like a 212/218 or 216/220 are proven performers that would do great with your setup!

I wouldnt be scared to run something in the low 220 range with that stall. however you will see better performance with that 212/218 your looking at! There is a dyno sheet of the 265 which is the low lift comp cam version of the 212/218. It put up some big numbers, look at the top of this section for the chart
