depends on what you're doing, LS6 cam is the preferred dailydriver cam for a truck with forced induction, most will go with a TR224 or one close to that (212/214), with any of these, you're moving your powerband up farther, so understand that you won't be making any more torque down low, you'd benefit from gears in that department

long story short, LS6 cam wouldn't be worth the price of getting it installed

you have a 4.8/5.3/6.0? you need: cold air intake, exhaust system and a tune, see my posts for more details!
