    cam advice 6.0l in xcab obs

    Hey guys so the motor I picked up for my swap into my bagged 94 xcab chev is a 6.0l out of a silverado SS, the motor came with a 3500 stall in the 4l60e and has a magic stick ms4 with matching valve train, not sure of the specs on the cam other than it has 114 degree LS, I do drive my truck on long trips to shows all over the Midwest and am concerned the cam is not going to be very street friendly and with the truck being as heavy as it is 3500 stall isn't going to be enough. So I guess what I'm getting at is some advice on possibly ditching the cam and going in a dif detection, Im looking to make good power and have a great sound, but will be still street friendly and won't require any more stall than what I already have.

    That is a killer combo, but the 60e in a heavy truck is going to be a roll of the dice.

    4.10 gears and a 4k stall. Keep the cam!

    Well I figured I would run the l60 till she is destroyed then swap in a l80. From what I've seen of the ms4 its pretty nasty, I am an expert by no means and want to do this build right the first time and hear conflicting opinions about my cam/stall in a heavier truck so I figured I would get some feedback from everyone here.

    The MS4 is one of the most proven cams out with the 6l. It just needs a lot of gear and a lot of stall. That's my opinion, that's how I'd do it. It's definitely up to you.

    I have no problems keeping the cam and just running a 4k stall I was just concerned about long trip drivebility with this combo, and was debating if I wanted to go with 4.10s for more low end or 3.73s for a little more all around drivebility, I am currently running 22x10 wheels but may soon be running 24x10 billets. So wheel size plays into gear selection aswell.

    3.73s won't be enough for an MS4
