What are your current mods and possible future mods? Anything not in the sig? It's good to match your cam up to what you are considering putting on the truck. What all do you use the truck for?

Look at my sig. Do that and you'll have mid 13's easy since your truck is lighter and more aerodynamic. I would suggest going with a 3200+ stall though.

I would prob go with something like what my brother put in his truck. Its a custom grind from texas speed. If you have at least 10:1 compression. His specs are: comp xe-r lobes with 232/236 dur .595/.601 lift 112 lsa with 2 deg advance. Except on your truck i would do 4 deg advance for a little more low end torque. That with like a 3200 to 3800 stall will be and awesome setup!
