An R/T cam? Meaning the cam in a factory 360 Magnum from a Dakota RT? If so, that's a mistake to start with. The stock 318 Magnum has a hotter cam than the OEM 360 Magnum. If you mean the Mopar Performance Magnum RT cam (aftermarket), that's a whole other animal.
Anyway, CompCams, Crane, Mopar Performance...you name it. As to lift, it all depends on what level of performance you're looking for, and how much you want to upgrade in other areas. What do you want the truck to run?

Clint, check with KRC performance. They have a very good selection of parts for the 318. That's where I got my cam and most of my other parts from.

There's not a lot out there for the Magnum engine. There's a fair amount of choices, but they are somewhat limited in variety.
Contact Ed Curtis at Flowtechinduction.com. Let him know what you want, and he'll design a cam for you. If you want to limit yourself to stock valvetrain, he can work with that, too.

Clint, you won't get too much upper RPM hp out of the r/t cam, but the KRC 206x and 210x have gotten pretty good reviews around here and some other forums. I know there are other cam manufacturers out there, but I don't know that much about them.

Joey, I love the 210x! The power is great from about 2500 rpm to 6000 rpm. The idle is slightly rough due to the 110* centerline and long duration. You'll need a higher stall converter and deep gears (4.10 or lower) to really wake up the lower end. I'm running it in a 4x4, so the low end is a little weaker, but when it gets into the power band, it pulls like a mutha!

It does sound real nice at idle! I've got the 318, but I'm thinking about building a 360. If I do, I'm going to use the 210x in the 360 for sure.
