    cam help 6.0 4l80 lifted truck

    i picked up a 6.0 from a 2001 hd with 90k and also have a 4l80e and i want to install a cam in the motor before i install it in the truck
    what would be a good cam??

    truck is a 97 chevy k1500
    ifs has been removed solid axle suspension
    going to be running 40" tires
    have 4.10 gears in now but planing on upgrading to 5.13 or 5.38 not shure.

    4l80e is going to be a fresh rebuild with a transgo hd2 shift kit and 3000 stall any other upgrades i should do to the trans while im rebuilding it????

    the truck is just a toy so i want allot of power and don't really care about emissions or it being a daily driver
    i am also running long tube headers with no cats and a magnaflow muffler
    also


    any sugestions would be very helpfull

    The no-walk bushing for the output shaft is a good install item while you're in there. I did a 48mod vacuum shift modulator kit, too. It uses engine vacuum to determine your shift pressures rather than electronic controls via the tune.

    I have a TR224 in my truck with a 6.0, 3k stall, 4.56's, 37's and love it so you might want to consider something close to that. Also, think about getting a custom cam.
