    Stroked 6.2 Cam choice guidance question

    Hey all..

    I have put together a 6.2 short block with a 4" stroke and I'm looking for some guidance on which cam to use with it. It'll be in a Yukon XL.. I'll be using a stall converter and it's going to have a 'right sized' turbo on it. I'm leaning toward a Borg warner S362.

    Here's my criteria.. 1. Burn rubber 2. good street manners..

    Does anyone have a cam they've used in the past that works well with a heavy vehicle? I don't need to to rev out to 7K RPM.. I'd like mid-range power.

    What would be a good LSA for this engine?

    S362 is a pretty small turbo for a 415ci engine.
    What heads?

    I'm going to send my extra set of stock heads to West Coast cyl and have them reworked to a 'stage 3' configuration with .560 springs, trunnion kit and whatnot.

    I have a S362 on a 366ci (6.0 ford) diesel engine and it gets to illegal speeds and or lights up the tires before 4K rpm. I forget what the AR ratio is.. I'm looking for a similar 'rowdy' mid-range power.

    I got the diesel engine right.. Gas engines are a different animal. I'm in the hand wringing stages of this build.. Lots of research.
