It's best to be patient when it comes to modding your truck. Just running out to the parts store and picking stuff up on a whim will end up costing you a lot of cash. It's best to shop things like rockers and cams on the net and compare them to a local speed shop. If you try to get them from a place like Advance or Autozone you are going to get bent over and reamed.

Putting the biggest cam in isn't always best. If your motor is mostly stock (stock intake manifold, stock heads, and stock exhaust), then you will probably be most happy with an rv cam. If you can wait and accumulate the parts (M1 intake manifold, good set of heads, and good exhaust), then you would probably be happy with the 206x. It does not require computer mods on the 360. IIRC, specs are 206/210 at .050 .512/.512 on a 110*. I could be wrong about exh. duration and lift. Also, when I say good exhaust I mean one that in no way incorporates the pos factory y pipe.

Something like this wouldmatch up pretty good:

That would probably give you just a bit more bump than 1.7 rr's. The tech line at Comp can be very helpful when making a cam selection:
