Default The notorious cam question

I'm sure there is a thread for this so feel free to just to point me in the direction of that thread. Otherwise I have a 2002 crew cab 2500 4x4 with long tube headers and true dual 3" exhaust. I'm looking to gain some performance but not at the expense of low end torque because I do pull a load with this truck on a regular basis. Is there a cam other than stock that is good for heavy trucks to make more midrange power? Any knowledge is much appreciated thanks!

Vinci 210/218.

Best across the board power of any cam

Something like that is a good option. Do you have a preference on idle quality? An even earlier ICL than the Vinci cam will make it more snappy.

I drive it in stop and go traffic on a regular basis so I need it to idle decent.
