You wont need bigger injectors. Torquer V2, don't be scared.

if you run that Torquer V2 you'll need 4:10s with a 3600 converter thats a big *** cam for a stock head 6.0
i would run a 224/228 .585.588 112+2 with a 3400 converter with 3:90/4:10s
i guess you can say i feel you can get more outta the smaller cam vs the "biggest" you see.

that's your main problem. i dont think a huge cam is that great for a DD, but its all in what you can stand to drive. i have a 228/236 112+2 in my CC with a 3600/4:10 combo...i can stand it, but i promise you, it gets annoying. but like you said when you whip up on a sports car, it just makes you even more happy to have it

id contact Pat G and see what he says to run imo. my next cam will be a Pat G cam with EPS lobes. i will get the MOST outta this 6.2/3600/4:10 combo

He doesn't have a land barge crewcab. Its a single cab 4x4. I don't even know why you'd mention stock heads with that cam. 317s are good stock heads, they aren't really the limiting factor on the engine.

OP,

You won't have any daily problems with a low 230s cam in a 6.0. A V2 is not a big cam for that engine. I just stuck a custom low 230s cam in my lq9. In a few days, its going in my reg cab, 2wd. My goal is a nice streetable truck w/ a/c, that puts down ~400 rwhp.

Another thing, it's not required to run an 80e behind a cammed 6.0. A built 60e will handle the power. The 80e will work great, and you can beat the hell out of it and have confidence your transmission will hold up. It just has a taller 1st gear ratio than the 60e. It may be a little doggish off the line with the 3.42s. Id still run them before I swapped to a shorter ratio. Just to see if I liked it before I dropped cash on a gear swap. You'd be able to leave a lot harder with the 3.42s over a lower gear b/c of traction issues.

I'd also look into a TBSS swap. Its a nice mod, that is relatively cheap to do.

That's what im looking for 400rwhp an mean as hell sounding An my thoughts exactly on the gear. May switch them but ima wait an see 1st. Jus want the best sounding/ pulling cam for my setup without changing a bunch of stuff.

I couldn't see that cam with 11* of overlap on the OP's combo, 3.42's, 4L80E, and 3200-3600 street enjoyable, but that's just me....

Define street enjoyable. And yeah, like I posted above, I'd run a built 60e. But, it will still run good on the street with a 80e, just slow him down off the line. Anyway, all he said was the converter was 3200-3600. I know you know that isn't the only characteristic of a stall converter. 3.42s might be an issue. Why not just run them to see how it does? Gears can be swapped anytime.

A custom cam with some advance ground in might be a better choice than the V2. But I'd run a low 230s duration cam in a DD rcsb 6.0 all day long.
