I really don't want to steer you one way or another as I'm not an engine builder by trade. don't know that i have an answer for you, I know that the larger cam the higher up in the RPM the power is built. I'm also running worlds products heads with different size (larger) intake runners, that in itself has an affect on air flow, plus Doug Thorley Try Y headers.

I can tell you that my truck is really happy at freeway speeds but i think with the 33" wheels and 4:10's i wouldn't mind having a little more bottom end power. It isn't phased by heading over the mountain pass but i have not pulled anything more than my small 7" flatbed trailer, dirt bike and a small camper on the back.

I think its best to contact the cam company's, let them know what you have and ask there opinion.
