6.0L L92/truck intake cam ideas

I am worried about stalling higher and then the intake falling off @ 6000rpm. If I can get the powerband lower in the rpms I hope that the intake wont become a restriction.

No, like it says in my signature, I'm currently running cast iron heads that I ported myself.
A higher stall speed converter works fine if you are running a lighter vehicle primarily for strip use with a big cam that doesn't make any torque down low.
If you want to enhance the performance of a street driven vehicle, especially a heavier truck, go to a slightly bigger cam, a low restriction air intake, some good street headers and a great tune. A significantly larger cam (duration over 21X intake) even with a higher stall converter does not produce broad band torque and will never have the manners it needs to a a fun daily driver. There are many, many threads on this subject both here and at LS1Tech.com and probably other places too.

I have a current l92 combo and for my particular setup hitting 425-535 lb's@ 2500-5500 rpms and that seems to workin so far.Just conveying my thoughts since I do have and invested highly into the LS3/L92 heads.
Just my MHO

I have been looking for what would be a good cam for my 5400lbs truck? I look over @ tech and alot of people keep it a secret...so I guess throw out what I should look for since this is going in a truck.
WT=5400
gears=4.10
trans=auto
T/c=2600-2800
Intake=truck L92
This is a DD so I dont need to shift much past the 6200 where the intake seems to fall off. I am AWD. I currently have the cam in my sig, 224/224 .56ish @112...but I know the cam choice is critical so I dont lose my bottom end and plan on pulling it whan I do the heads. I have posted a few things on tech and seem to get black balled. I have heard that the smaller cam work well w/L92

207/218 615/624 on a 114 thats my guess.....Very similar have been proven with great results in our heavy trucks...
