The 706 heads on the 6.0 will bump up the compression and it’ll feel very responsive.

You wouldn’t need a huge cam for it to be fun either.

I’m partial to my current cam,

Comp XR275HR

222/224 .566/.578 @ 112+2

Has plenty of chop at idle as well.

This or even an Elgin 1838, 1839, or 1840 would be an inexpensive alternative with some 918 springs. CPGnation made 487 hp at 6,100 rpm and 478 lb-ft of torque at 4,800 rpm with a comp 54-424-11 cam and 706 heads.

What bottom end and CR?

My CR with my 370 and 706 heads is around 12.1.
