Default Looking for the best camshaft for 1500HD 4wd used for towing?????? HELP

I am interested in a cam for a 1500HD with the 6.0L/4L80E. The truck is a crew cab and 4 wheel drive. We use the truck for towing quite a bit and it gets driven out of state on long hauls quite often also. Mainly looking for a nice cam that will give me lots of low-mid range torque from say 1500 to 3500 rpms and need to get good fuel mileage also. Keep in mind that drive ability is very important as is fuel mileage. Only other modifications will be headers and full exhaust with a cold air and a tune via HP Tuners.

What would you guys recommend??

Thanks!

Thanks man anyone else?? I'm good with cam options for the LSX cars, but never dealt much with the trucks in a towing application.

nothing over stock without a change in stall, depending on your towing needs...I sent you a recommendation
The cam I was going to get for myself, but went towards the boost setup.
