wanting to change the camshaft with everything else being stock, FOR NOW, pistons, pushrods, lifters,rocker arms, crank, etc. Well, will prolly have to change lifters. Thanks

its not really a good idea to put a bigger cam in your truck unless you upgrade the whole valvetrain
plus
it serves no purpose unless you upgrade your valve-train
anyways
depending on if you have solid or hydraulic lifters go with either a comp or crane cam
i suggest getting a nice kit
with everything you need
valve-train wise
anyways maybe like 250-254/258-262 duration and .432-.447/.453-.462 lift
its just and idea
thats def. not the biggest cam you could go with
like i said
it all depends on your valve-train/application
i hope this helps!
