Default Best cam for 6.0 truck
I have a 2500HD ecsb. i have Lt's Efans, CAI, I was thinkin about gettin a cam.

I do tow with my truck every now and then, but only up to 4 or 5 thousand lbs. but i also would like some performace out of her on the drag strip.

What do yall think would work good. i was thinking somethin around 220 to 226 cam. I want some lope at idle but still have low end torque.

Those guys are being sarcastic. Lowend torque cams that provide a lopey idle have been discussed over and over. Spend a little time searching and report back with what you find.
