Cam for 2500hd with tvs 1900
I'm getting ready to install a tvs 1900 on my 02 2500hd lq4. Thinking I may as well do a cam, lifters, springs and rap head bolts. I'd like it to have a nice chopper idle but I'm looking for the most power from 2000-5800 rpm. Also how much will I be able to make with the stock 317 heads?

Nah... it aint a blower cam. It's a turbo cam.
I would spec something that looks fairly drastically different.
You can make over 600 at the tires in that RPM range with the right cam and good fuel with a 1900. If you wanted more RPM you could make more power. No need for different heads with what you want.

Is that with 317 heads or something bigger? I just figure the stock high mileage short block would like me a lot more if I kept the rpm range there. Right now i don't want to go beyond what the injectors that come with the 1900 will handle. I'm definitely considering meth. If it makes it safer.

While I agree with you on a lot of those points... there really isnt any need to experiment here.
the triple 12 will make more power than stock, it may be audible in a 6.0, and I do like to see different set ups. But when talking about a blower cam vs a turbo cam its pretty cut and dry. You want a blower cam for a blower.

Will it make good power? Sure. But there are a lot better valve events to make even better power at the same boost level. You say more people should try different setups but yet your advocating a generic cam spec for two completely different setups and needs. The triple 12 is a great cam for its intended purpose, but that purpose isn’t a 6.0 with a positive displacement blower. So many people default to a given cam spec because they don’t understand valve events and their effect on power delivery in a given setup.

So and so made good power so it should work for this application...
