It'll work, but the 6.0 will eat up those small cams. Try a tr224... you should be happy with that

It would be a decent 'mild' cam. Won't lope much due to the wide lsa, but will drive nice.

Guess it depends on what you want to do?

I liked it in my 5.3, it was actually a great cam, but didn't have a lot of lope even in it. Would most likely be very mild sounding in a 6.0

not seeing a converter in your sig that cam in a 6.0 is about the biggest I would go with stock stall if I had 4.10's. 3.42's and stock converter that is even to big in a 6.0 IMO.

I would at least put a 224/224 in a 6.0. Even thats kind of small.

I think it would be a nice daily driver that would work well with the factory intake, and probably make power up to a little over 6k. You could get away with LS6 springs too. My guess is that a mild stall (2400-2800) would be perfect. As mentioned above, it won't sound like a monster, but would be a definite improvement over stock. The Comp 216/220 is what I planned on for my 6.0 (daily driven with an occassional trip to the track), but since the project has been put on hold, I'm not 100% sure which direction I'm going to go with it when/if the time comes. (maybe the LQ9 will end up in a mid 80's Monte Carlo or a mid 50's Chevy some day )

That cam will be a nice cam for a daily driver. Should get great mpg but have good performance too. You could go bigger but if its your daily driver, you could. If your looking all out performance, I would look into the 22x range for intake.
