98 2500 ext cab shortbed 454 build
So I bought a black 98 ext cab 4x4 shorted that happens to be an l29 motor I plan on tossing the intake doing a 0411 pcm conversion and running coils and a edwlbrock pro flo intake with an LS throttle body, AFR 345 magnum rec port And a 226/236 cam on a 112 with, 550 intake and exhaust lift,and I plan on throwing a 3200 stall in it and the Nv149 escalade Tcase, this things gonna be a desert runner street truck, Do you think this setup should throw down some good power? It's gonna be 10:1 compression

It will be a fun driver for sure. But unless you just wanna dump a ton of money in it a cam swap is just day and night difference all by itself. Other than advanced tuning differences theres no power gain in a 411 swap. You can tune old black box as is more than enough for the power you'll make with a cam swap and bolt ons. Theres not a lotta extra power to be made for the stack of cash your going to throw at it. It's a big block low to mid RPM torque is where it's at. I have built several of these trucks for myself personally using everything stock but a custom cam from comp and a set of springs and eeked out some hella power and they would scoot even black box computer
I'm not saying don't spend the money I'm just saying it's not a necessity to make dd power you'll never get LS power but you'll get lotta smiles red light to red light a LS just can't match
