Default Need help picking cam

Well, I've got many things going into the truck in the next few months and one of them will be a cam and springs. I'm going to be installing a 02 ecm and 02 injectors, trailblazer converter, and shift kit....I want a cam that is a great daily driver and has a nice lope but not too big for a daily driver... I need some suggestions. Also what kinds of gains do you guys think I'll see once I install all of this over my stock crappy 99 cam and ecm?

you could go with anything from the everpopular 212/218 to 222/224 with that stall. The question is what are you goals?

I want a 13 sec or a very low 14 sec truck, but I want it to be daily driver friendly.

I'd use a custom grind cam with single pattern or mild split. Go for something in the 214/214 range with .550ish lift on a 113 or 114 LSA.
