ls1mike, peak power at 4500-6000rpm is not usually helpful for towing. While the 6.0L L96 may be not be living to its full potential, the factory setup is quite good for doing work.
Right, but this cam helps lower end just as much as top end. It is a different grind than I used in my Trans Am.
The LS motors make there peak that high but the cam will add through the complete power band, plus not everyone wants a Diesel. I am not saying a gasser is better, but as I recall my BILs 98 Cummins had to live high in it's RPM range towing his old fifth wheel when he pulling grades. I just have no use for a Diesel. Different strokes for different folks.
Not sure how the OP uses his truck but, I only use my truck to tow, so putting a cam in over a weekend is no big deal.
I have the Trans Am or a Supercharged Buick regal that I drive daily.
