Default cam for my 05

I'm looking for a cam setup. I'm looking for something geared toward towing and pulling more than racing. I have an
05 5.3 ccsb z71 with 130k
longtubes, hp tuned,4.10s, cai, servo, cosa sport and the big kicker

22x10 and 33" toyo which weighs alot. I tow a 14ft trailer and teryx 4 up to 7-8 times a month and it's just lagging in the power

​​​​​​​my budget is 2000 if possible with 400 going to install

Something like a 212/218 cam would work fine, you can keep your stock stall and perhaps gain 40-50hp throughout the powerband.

Just put a texas speed 216/220 in mine last week. Picked up 47whp. Seems to be ok on the factory stall, although I'll be installing a 3000-3200k sometime in the near future.

here's the dyno

This cam works great for a dd, get some lt headers too.

Cam motion 205/210 115+4 and a BB tune here. I'm 2WD, but with 3.42 and stock stall and I tow. I'm very happy with it. Some call it a baby cam, but the stock is tee-tiny and much over 212 duration intake is going to be really soft below 2200 RPM. You could take the 212/218 and advance it 2-4 degrees to move the powerband down. Big wheels and towing needs low engine torque.
