Dual 3" all the way back? That's too much exhaust for a 460 so you're losing quite a bit of low end torque.

Rockers or camshafts? If it's rockers you're talking about that rating doesn't apply.

That truck has the SD EFI system on it which means if you you're changing the cam it has to be compatible with that system or "computer controlled", in general that means no less than 114 degrees LSA and no more than 210 deg duration at 0.050" lift. However you will find some cams that meet those specs(or are very close) that aren't rated computer controlled so there are a few more options available. Your motor currently has a flat tappet cam in it as well and converting to a roller involves using linkbar roller lifters and shorter pushrods which drives up the price quite a bit, but considering how many flat tappet cam failures we're beginning to see it's probably worth the expense.
