Default cam suggestions

Thinking about my cam choices for my 4.8. I had a tr220 on a 112 in my 5.3 and it was pretty decent. Should I stick with that on my 4.8? Not wanting to go with a huge stall or anything, just looking for good lope and lowend power. This will also be my dd. Thanks for the advice.

With the "low lift" no problem...With the high lift you would be right at the limit of a ls6 spring...probably be fine..But you could maybe get some PAC springs for added insurance...
Any of Comps "truck cams" would work well in a 4.8 as well
