I don't know if I'd even try running that cam in a truck. I think a truck might be too heavy to take advantage of it, personally.
I had similar Comp/Patriot cam 226/226@ .050" .595"/.595" on 112lsa in a 3755# Camaro.
It idled good after a lot of tune tweaking, and made it's best power above 3500+ rpm's.
Shift rpm was 6800.
I had to run a "loose" 3600 PI Vigilante stall converter for best results, although according to datalogs, the converter was "flashing" to 4200 on launches.
It did yank the driver's front wheel on every launch and it does sound good though...
Idle and rev with stock catback:

Idle and rev with single in/single out 3" Flowmaster:

WOT w/SLP dual/dual catback:

and with open cutout and an impatient redlighting driver, lol:

For that cam I'd recommend head work, 10.5:1 compression or more, 1 7/8 primary headers, and a 3400+ converter...oh yea, and very good custom tuning 
I love my StainlessWorks headers, not sure if they offer 1 7/8 primaries though. 1 3/4 headers would work, but IMO with a bumpstick that big and the supporting mods to optimize it, 1 7/8 would be best...just my .02

in a nut shell this cam isnt for you!
Start out smaller similar to mine its easy to tune can be run with the stock stall converter and manifolds
It gives good gains all around and u can add parts as you like it doesnt require it to make your truck run with the cam

As mentioned you can get away with the factory verter, or even get a small 2600 converter that will compliment the cam nicely. As mentioned, you can mod at your own pace and compliment the cam as you go. A cheap set of yellow LS6 valve springs and some hardened pushrods and you're good to go
