6.0 cam options

Hey all I’m thinking of putting a nice RV/torque cam in my 03 1500hd. It has 174,000 miles on it I thought about waiting til I save some money and rebuild the motor and put one in it while I had it tore apart or just go ahead and slap one in it just don’t know how well it’d be with a higher mileage motor what do y’all think and what cams are y’all running in your lq4 here’s a pic of the ole gal

Been looking real hard at this cam here curious if anyone is running it

That cam would be good. Going bigger is going to shift the powerband further up and likely not where you want it.

 

With a good tune it's probably another ~20-30hp/tq over what you have now. Your mileage isn't really high at all, I'd have no problems swapping in a camshaft at this mileage.

 

I'd only touch what you have to when changing it. New front cover gaskets, cam retaining plate, lifters and head gaskets. If you have good oil pressure now, don't even remove the pump. High volume pumps aren't really ever needed for 99% of people.
