If you are planning to stay with a stock convertor, I wouldn't go with anything too big on the cam. Something in the 215/220 Dur@.050 and a 485/500 lift would work great in your truck. Slightly lopey but able to idle under 900 RPM. You could also check with your local Chevy dealership for the availability of a stock LS-5 cam. Great Cam for overall preformance and drivability.
