Look at these:
Vinci truck cams
Then decide do you want to shift higher than stock, is it a daily driver, are you going to get a torque converter with a higher stall, do you want low end TQ or high end HP, stock or choppy idle?
All this will affect your cam choice.
The "trucker" (see link above) is a good choice or the GT2-3 if the Radix is in the near future. Do a search for the GT2-3 and read up on it.

if you are planning on going FI in the near future you might look at the tried and true GT2-3 cam.

I want a choppy idle and it is a daily driver and about the torque conveter...I most likely will upgrade the trans and covn....all at the same time down the road....i was going to run a 100 shot but not sure....
