Looking at the specs of the stock truck cam, it seems like an excelent turbo grind... would changing the cam make that much difference??
...and yes I know, the stock pistons will melt, the rod bolts will stretch, blah, blah. It wouldn't be the end of the world if this motor lets go, I'm a Ford guy so I'm used to making may more power than a stock shortblock should be able to withstand.

Can I use the 6.0 truck cable throttle body on the LS6 intake?
What OE cam would work best with the turbo, anybody done any junkyard swapping?
