For a 6.0 mild build I would go with something around 215I/220E .550-.600 lift and 114 lobe separation. Many cams in this range.
As said above new springs. I would add new push rods. Most cam kits will come with new valve seals, retainers and locks. If your 6.0 has a jillion miles on it maybe new LS7 lifters?
I've used Comp Cams and Texas Speed cams with good results.
The other thing to consider if you are running a auto is a good stall converter. Maybe around 2800 stall? Rear end gears? Also a good chassis tune makes huge difference on the overall performance.
Man I like spending other peoples money! LOL.
Good luck with your project.
