Default another d*mn cam thread..sorry

Hey guys, im apologizing in advance cause i know how much these cam threads are dreaded.

Vehicle as in sig. Its my daily driver and it does do some MILD towing, maybe a bass boat or a small utility trailer rarely. Looking for a cam, it has to be used, as i cant really justify buying a new one. This cam is for sale and i was wondering what yall think.

Its a crane cams quick lift crn-1449561
216/224 .551 .551

What lsa is this cam?
will it lope?
will zo6 springs and rods be sufficient?
any other internal parts needed?

I checked Crane's website and that cam has a 115 lsa, it's the same as Vinci's "The Trucker" cam. It should work well for towing with a 6.0, but won't really lope much, especially if it's tuned right. You should definitely feel an improvement over stock with that cam

Not really, with the cubes of a 6.0 and relatively small overlap of that cam, it should sound pretty mild...it definitely won't sound stock, but it won't rattle your A-pillars off either...

It actually does have a little bit of lope to it. Here's a vid of DozerDan's old truck with that cam:

I like the way it sounds.

It does sound nice, but DD's truck is a 5.3 and TheChevyMan has a 6.0 which will swallow that cam up a bit more
