Default 6.0l build

Hey guys I have a 2010 2500 with the LY6, I have already added a cold air intake and a throttle body from airaid and an edge evolution programmer. It has a 6'' lift with 32'' tires. I do some heavy hauling but mostly want to play. I’m thinking long tube headers, new cam, new EMS, maybe some more internal work and for the final piece a Whipple of magnuson charger. I just was looking for some recommendations for brands/ grind for cam or really any help. I am pretty new to this stuff but am trying to teach myself. Also would 4.10 gears be worth it? Thank you!

definitely long tubes, about a 224-230 blower cam (some with a 6-8 degree split duration due to rectangular port heads), ems???, a 3200 stall for daily driving.

gears be worth it since you got 32 tires and assuming you got 3.73s, with them 32 taller tires, they acting more like 3.42 or smaller. so 4.10s would help greatly in getting that heavy rig going.

The factory computer will handle your plans just fine, you dont need any type of different controller until you start getting pretty damn crazy with power output. What are your power goals? When you change the cam you will want to upgrade the valve spring and pushrods also.
