Also you DO NOT want to just pick a cam that will give you a nice big lope but focus more on what will be right for your application and will make good power and still be daily driver friendly.

Are you planning on getting a stall converter at all?

I would off hand recomend the XER273HR which is probably what Klug is running. That cam when tuned in right will still get great milage and it is very nitrous friendly. It will also have a lope and will pull well past 6k.

That is the right cam. Also get a set of springs and pushrods.

I would just use the new 918's and Comp Cams pushrods. Brand really isn't that important.

Do a search for Cam Swap for your cam swap questions. You'll have your answer in like 30 seconds.

Do you have "use the search function" programmed to cut and paste? JFWY! But I agree, went back over the cam sticky the other day and it's got most of the info the OP is asking, and a great step by step how to install!

I'm running a small shot and also looking for a good dd cam that won't kill my MPG I'm also going to run atleast a TB converter with a FLT level 4. Got the info I wanted in the cam thread and had to pass on a smoking deal on a great cam for me in the Classified section.(didnt have the funds to spend, but I will next week) Keep your eyes open to whats for sale and you might be able to pick up what you want at a lower hit to the wallet.
