No one would believe me. Its not the "in" thing. To be a hemi God i'd have to get the same 218/218 spartan max cam and inertia heads everyone else is running. Then I could be just as slow as everyone else but they'd at least think highly of me. I'd rather be fast then well liked by a bunch of people on the internet.

Thats why I enjoy this site. It lets me see what other guys with different brand trucks are doing. Sometimes seeing only one brand and the same things over and over gets you stuck in a rut performance wise.
One thing I notice is the chevy guys can run much bigger cams without sending the valves through the pistons. It seems like they just throw a bigger cam at it while with the mopars we have to turn to the heads a lot sooner to make that extra power.

Yeah, it's funny to see Chevy guys throwing 230/234 duration .580+ lift cams in 6.0's with a good set of valvesprings and pushrods without breaking a sweat. It makes me appreciate the LS series engines.
I love seing Hemi builds and look forward to seeing a high power N/A Ford Mod motor eventually.

The problem is, is that I can't figure out how to post my slips or pictures on this site....much like the other sites that I belong to. I'm computer stupid, but can build a fast truck. lol It really doesn't matter to me either way. All the performance Hemi truck guy's know what my truck runs and that's all that matters.

i was in awe when i saw the size of the cams in these LS trucks...and even more in awe to see 4.8l v8's in the 12s when we our 4.7 guys havent broke 13s yet (enter taj, lol)
