Default Best LOW-MID torque cam

Planning on a C6 stock cam, but anyone else know of anything that would net better Low-Midrange torque gains?

This is a pulling truck, not a racing truck.

I already have 3.73s, Longtubes with 3" duals sitting ready, and getting a CAI, ROcker Arms, and E-Fans.

3 in duals are already killin your torque..do not waste your time with that cam.. comp 212/218 .522/.529 114lsa cam is a good all around cam

I agree, even if it's a 6.0L dual 3" is too big.

The XR259 and XR265 are good cams for low end torque and powerful mid range, but your displacement needs to be known.

Alot of guys looking for more torque tonight...I just recommended that Lifted03Chevy consider my cam (in sig) or the Vinci "Ultra Torque" (210/218 .551/.551 116) just a few minutes ago...mild cams that are ground with low end torque in mind...
