    With that cam, you're going to need at least 3000 RPM stall. The Z06 cam is not a good choice for a NA truck. It's intended as a high-RPM cam in a light vehicle, like a Vette. It's an even worse choice if you tow. Save yourself more grief and replace it with something like the Vinci Ultra Torque. Not trying to be a smartass - just stating reality.

    With your mods, any of the four 210/218 cams in the link below would work well (080, 043, 112, 062). The primary differences being the amount of lope at idle and the width of the power band. And your 2100 RPM stall will also work OK.

    call The Converter Shop and get a billet one there in my opinion one of the best out there and they will build u one that will work perfect with what you've got because in my opinion yanks are not worth the money just my

    How embarrassed you must be - a GM World Class Technician asking a rube for engine help. Well, you've already burned that bridge, so go pound sand.
