Need help with camshaft

I need help.....can someone please give me any suggestions on what kind of cam they have put in their truck, where they got it, and how much it cost....I wanted to run one with a longer duration without having to flycut the pistons at this time....I have the 60# exhaust springs. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

hamiltoncams.com makes a good cam.
Be careful of the head gasket though, they usually pop soon after because of the increase in cyl pressure

I have an Enterprise Engine street cam. It works great even with the stock turbo. It came with new tappets, also. Mine came from Keating Machine.

If youre going to go through the hassle of installing the cam Id do the pushrods, lifters, valve springs, etc all in one go.
Hamilton requires those things for the warranty I think.
Id also get the cam that bolts to the gear versus a press-fit.
