I would call some of the shop sponsors on the side to get a better choice and what will fit you better...

Taking peoples opinions on a forum over the internet is not the smartest thing to do.. More then likely your going to be dissapointed with your cam selection unless you talk to the professionals. They can pick the right cam setup for what your looking for...

id say 99silv. has the best advice, ive had excellent luck with www.thunderracing.com/ Im not for sure but you might have tranny heating issues running the stall and towing, unless you have a hell of a cooler on it, i got a tci3000 in a reg. cab w/ cooler not even towing and my tranny has got hot........if it was me with the weight of the vehicle not even counting when you tow with it id go with wider LSA, wont have as much topend but will make excellent bottom and good mid power, these two cams below would be good for what your doing.... i used the blower cam in my truck which is very similar to the cheater but specific to S/Chrgs.....drives excellent, idles well, slight lope and loves spray.......

99-TR-CHEATR-CAM Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"CheaTR" - 214/230 .601/.575 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Works well with stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters. Stock like idle. Minor tuning required on automatic transmission cars. Responds very well to nitrous. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Double valve springs and titanium retainers required for this cam. $389.99


99-TR-CHEATRLS2-CAM Thunder Racing Custom Camshaft
"LS2 CheaTR" - 215/230 .629/.592 117 LSA. Off Idle-6800 RPM Power Band. Broad power range. Works well with stock exhaust manifolds and catalytic converters. Stock like idle. Minor tuning required on automatic transmission cars. Responds very well to nitrous. Due to the fast ramp rate of this camshaft, the use of 1.8 rockers is not recommended. Comp 921 Valve Springs are highly recommended. $389.99

Whipple and spray all the way.......

or you can talk to people who own and drive similar vehicles and probably have had 3 or 4 setups under them... This isnt the first one I've done... I dont give bogus advise bud.
