Default biggest cam for stock stall

OK guys my uncle has a 03 HD 6.0L and wants to add a small cam but he tows all the time and doiesnt want a stall. i told him a 2600 yank wouldnt hurt his towing but he is skeptical. so whats the biggest cam we can go without a stall. thanks everybody

around 214-216 degrees duration on a 6.0 I would say... once you really start to go any bigger, the bottom end tq fall out from underneath you.... he could go with a 220 cam easily with that converter and still retain plenty of towing capacity... just be sure his cooler is up to the task.

the 212.218 comp high lift cam IMO would be excellent.

How much difference would a yank 2600 make in a 4L80E. Here's a vid with a stock stall in an HD.

a 2600 converter will wake it up alot... but since towing is still a factor, I wouldnt really go any higher.
