I guess it depends on what you want to do with your truck are you looking for torque for pulling or fuel economy this would change the cam you would be selecting.

May I suggest going to the engine forum that relates to this engine .?

Or even the performance and re-building forum.

Those are the best places for engine build up questions

i would wait till you regear for the tires you plan on running then see whats needed. call compcams for there recommendation be sure to explain what you want out of your rig and what its used for. also get the exhaust done first above all with headers, and hi flow exhaust. this will make any other improvment worth while.
