For computer controlled engines, your best bet is probably a Crane CompuCam see: http://www.cranecams.com/

Cam info?

Call the different cam manufacturers listed above and ask their tech people what would work best for your truck and driving style. Also try www.crower.com They have a list of about 10 or 15 different cams for each engine and it tells you what the cam is good for, including RPM power band.

Cam info?

the cam manufacturers now days are supplying cams for just about everything, including computer-contolled vehicles. One of my personal favorites is Lunati. A buddy of mine and I built a computer controlled engine for his truck, and the cam works perfect with everything. I suppose that just about any manufacturer will offer what you're looking for, just remember that the more information you can supply with the tech you're talking to, the better he can help you.
