Default Cam Decision for DD 5.3?

I’ve been looking around and around and can’t seem to find a cam for my setup, so if someone can point me in the right direction I’d appreciate it!
05 Silverado Single Cab
4x4 with 4.10s
5.3 with 4.8 flat top pistons
243 heads milled .030
.040 cometic Head gaskets
longtubes and y pipe
This is my daily driver and I don’t mind getting a stall if i need one, but will only go to 3200 if i have to...Also spraying but I’ll probably just do 100 shot max, I race it every other weekend as well. Any suggestions welcomed, thanks in advance.

with the mods you have you have wiggle room especially if you said you can get up to a 3200 stall, tsp truck cam stage 2 as well as the btr stage 2 truck cam you wouldnt need a stall since you have 4.10s, stage 3 and 4 on both tsp/btr you would need that 3200 stall.

some people can tolerate more cam than others.

if you dont want to lose low end stick with the stage 2 its a great cam overall.

if you want more topend i feel the tsp high lift truck cams will have more edge over the btr truck cams

I have the same mods on my wife's tahoe minus the flat top pistons and went with the tsp stage 2 low lift truck cam. My wife is very happy driving it daily.
