Cam question help

It really depends on "how much cam do you want to spend?"
You can run Sidewinders and a few of the lower end cams with just a Superchips, you get into some of the more wild cams, and you'll need a custom tune, valvetrain work, etc. I'm sure some of the resident cam experts will chime in on this one.

FULL exhaust (headers --pref longtubes if your emissions laws allow it, and a free-flowing y-pipe). some will do true duals with an H pipe (x-pipes dont work right with the design of the undercarriage).
Tuner -- Go with SCT (04+) or DSP (03+) for the tuner since you're looking to do a cam. Superchips is great for a lightly modded truck, but they dont support a custom tune like SCT or DSP.
CAI - none are any better than another as long as you can get more air into the engine (i know you already have one)
Is this truck gonna be a track queen or a street toy to whip ricers into shape? Once you get the cam, i'd recommend something like a comp cam 268. Its got decent low end, but really shines in the mid range. Get some 4.10 or 4.56 gears and a 2800 or 3000 stall torque converter and you'll have to be launchin in 4x4 to get any traction.
