The following cam has been recommended for my 6.0 engine, 216 220 XE 114 LSA 4 degrees advance. The mods on the engine are Hamm headers, dual exhaust, ASP crank pulley, UPD intake, and electric fans. Vehicle specs - 2500 series, 4X4, extended cab long bed, automatic trans. What rpm's do you think this cam will show more power at. Will low end torque suffer significantly or not much?
Thanks

That's a pretty mild cam for a 6.0. What are your tuning plans? Stock tuning? If so, then that's a good choice. I have a 6.0L in my car and I run a 232/234 with about .600 lift. Good torque and HP. If you plan on tuning then I would look bigger than that.

No plans on tuning it, kind of hard to do that in Central America. From your reply I guess I should be ok with this cam.
Thanks

You can probably get by with no tuning on that cam.

BLK6.0LHD had an 02' Z06 cam and didn't need tuning but as soon as he swtiched to a 224/232 cam he needed/Needs it BAD! LOL

So something close to the Z06 specs should be easy.

Is BLK6.0LHD's truck a 2 wheel drive or 4X4?

You could probably go slightly larger even without tuning.

You're putting down some serious horsepower considering your truck is a 4X4.

Trucks are heavy.......the bigger the cam the more low end you loose. Gotta remember the 2500 weighs in at 5600-6300 lbs, depending on which model you have. Start getting to big and you have to get a converter.

For what its worth.....this is the cam I am going with in my truck. 212/212 .553 .553 114 +4 cam Its pretty mild. But but low end is precious to me.
