TR 224 would be real good with your 3600 stall or a tr220 if you want something smaller....

my buddy had a tr224 in his 5.3 and that was a sick setup...seeing you got a 6.0, maybe even a tsp228.

Check out comp LSR 277 and 281. You have the stall and heads to go reasonably big.

I've got a Guerra Motorsports spec'd cam, 224/228 .609"/.588" 110LSA + 2 advanced. It worked great with my N/A LS6, 243 and 3800 stall set up. It pulled hard down low to get my 4800lb turd out of the hole. I think a few other guy's on pt.net are running a similiar cam with good results.
