i was thinking the same thing just like you. lq9 would respond good but the truck is heavy.

Exactly, that is why I think that my lowend torque would go to **** because the SS is a heavy *** bitch.

I think that I will probably just stay with the cam I have besides I really need to spend the money on some longtubes which will probably add just as much power as that bigger cam would.

I've got 224/224 .581/.581 112 in my VHO and I like it a lot. Once I got my lt's it felt like I got some torque back. I need to get it dynoed and see.

With a 3000 stall the definition of 'low end' changes, doesn't it? The floor (normal driving) becomes 2000-2500 RPM's instead of 1500-1600 RPM's, and the ceiling (flash stall) becomes ~3200 RPM. You kinda skip right through what 'low end' is for a lot of people.
