Default Choices for a Good Cruising Cam

Greetings all, its been ages since i've posted here. Anyway after last summer's disaster and the prices of fuel i'm rethinking my truck. I want to return to the stock TC but still run a nice mild cam mostly for freeing up some higher RPM power but mostly for the 1700-2500rpm torque boost.

This is what i was thinking of. Nothing insane in terms of duration or lift. But has a nicer LSA.

Lunati Voodoo #60510
Duration INT/EXH: 212/218
Lift INT/EXH: .531 / .531
LSA Angle: 113
Rated RPM Range: 1,600-6,400

Engine wise, i have a LQ9 with a full exhaust system (LT-headers, Magnaflow Cat's and Corsa Exhaust) So i doubt i will have problems with that cam + OEM TQ.

But i still want some input before i waste a weekend doing a cam swap

Thanks!

thats a good lookin cam...similar the comp cam that everyone loves...that lunati has a little higher lift...should be an awesome cruise cam in the 6.0

Hehe thats what im going for. Not overly aggressive but still gives good driveability. Stock TC flashes to about 1600 behind my old LQ4 so I'm sure if i need to launch i still can. Hopefully i can do the swap with the engine still in the vehicle without too much of a headache...

Interesting cam specs...seems like a nice daily driver for a 6.0 with no worries about valve spring life...

Another option along the same lines might be Comp's 216/220 on a 114...can't remember the lift off the top of my head but I think its around .525/530ish. It's a proven performer with a broad powerband and flat torque curve. More duration than the Lunati but a slightly wider LSA.
