Default How would this cam work in my 6.0?

im looking at buying this off of someone but not sure how it would work in my truck. the specs are 240/248 608 /615 lift 115 separation. I have 243 heads, long tube headers, CAI, and buying upgraded dual springs and push rods.

part number is 54-000-11

Crap. So whats the biggest i can go and stiil keep it somewhat of a daily driver. I honestly dont fully understand what all the numbers mean and how they effect the motor. I want that big cam choppy idle and would prefer for the cam to kick in around 2500ish.

Again im a noob and dont know much about cams or matching them with converters so this might be a dumb question, but doesent a higher lsa give more power on the lower end? Since im running a stock converter dont i want the power to kick in at a lower rpm.

no need to go over 600 lift on stock heads. Look into the TSP torquer v2 for something off the shelf. I'm not a huge fan of big cams in general. stay mid 23x
