This is the cam I would put in if I ever decided to swap mine out http://www.summitracing.com/parts/LUN-60120/ I've heard great things about the voodoo lobe shape. I'd use these springs http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12499224/ with these retainers http://www.summitracing.com/parts/CCA-787-16/ so you dont have to do any machining on the heads to make that cam work. I know some poeple have used this kit http://www.summitracing.com/parts/NAL-12480002/ but that will reqire some machining of the spring seats, and IMO that cam's powerband is too high for a truck

IMO, don't chase horsepower and get a cam to increase your torque.

I have a 00' K3500 CCLB w/4.10's....same truck basically, had the L31 stock. It's great once you get up to 20mph or more. The bottom end just isn't great with the factory stall and fairly high 1st gear in the 4L80e. I'm going with a set of long-tubes and a comp cam to try and get a wider torque band and better bottom end while keeping good power up to 5K.

I'd recommend staying away from a 3K stall unless you're not towing with it. While you can tow just fine with a stall, it gets old after awhile. One of the main reasons I'm trying to stay with the factory.
