for a 6.0 L, I'd go with something like a 232/232, less than .600 lift if it is a daily-driver, and at least 114 LSA.

Do you have an aftermarket TC, or do you plan on getting one? If you have one, where does it stall (or, if you plan on getting one, where will it stall)?

I would take a look at the Thunder Racing CheaTR cam. It's got a strong exhaust bias which will complement your FI well, and a wide LSA which will help it behave well on the street.

If you can wait a little bit, I should have some dyno numbers with mine in about a month or shortly after.
