The most popular Maggy cam and the one that I use is the LPE GT2-3. It's a mild cam with split duration, large LSA and good manners.

I ran a cam similar to the Vinci Trucker Cam and loved it (6.0L).

I have the 212-218 low lift. on 4.8 and 5.3 it sounds good. On my 6.0L it idles like stock. Id like it to be a little choppier.

I would just go with the cam Trever1t is running. I mean look at the times and power his truck puts down, why would you not run that cam?
