Default another cam question.

u guys already see from my other thread im doin a 6.0 swap in the next few months. what im lookin here for is an idea of what grind cam i should get for it. i mainly have a lack of top end power. so if i could find something that would help me out with that while giving me added torque ,that would be great. i tow with my truck but not alot of weight, just a few 4wheelers every now and then. and i have 35's .like i said i dont want nuthin crazy where it lopes horribly, but a good torque cam for a daily driver.

no torque lost down low upwards of 60 hp and 55tq at the top end nice little lope to it sound clip/vid on post 58, sounds great. didnt hurt gas mileage and you can use the ls6 springs that are only 60 bucks and its easy on valvetrain

yeah it was a great improvement in a 5.3, for mid and upper rpm power so i would have to think it would be a torque monster in a 6.0 when you swap and what better to help you move those 35's.
