I want to see what your truck is like while idling in 1st gear while putting down the road. If your U-joints don't break before the truck bucks itself to death, smash the gas peddle for us and let's see if you can break them there tires loose Not being a smartass but I cannot see the truck being able to do this with a cam that big. Do you find yourself having to slip the clutch a lot to get going? Do you find yourself driving around at 2800RPM's + to keep the engine running smooth?

Who cares if that cam is too big for what is "recomended" for your truck, it sounds bitchin, and if it makes you happy dude go for it. When I cam my truck Im going for that kinda lope, maybe not quite as much but its still going to have some.

does sounds good I agree completely. I do also kinda agree that it would probly suck to drive since its lifted, only being my personal preference that it doesnt make sense to add performance to a lifted truck unless ur gonna do some Baja races and ****. Mean sounding truck ya got, hope it gets her movin and hope my truck sounds like that next week

Dude that sounds nasty. I also agree that if you are happy with it stick with it. It's YOUR truck, it's not always best to be normal.

I agree the cam sounds alright, but you can get the same sound out of a grind that would better suit your needs/application.

No heads yet but we ran all the #s and there will be no problems with PTVC.
Thanks Chrome, Arronk.
I got the biggest cam I could with good PTVC, for the l92's. I didnt get a big cam just for the sound, although it does sound nice, I got it to make power. 00silv its not lifted its just got 35s, stock suspension, thanks for the compliment.

What RPM's are you expecting to turn? Running the stock 6.0 (even with heads) isn't going to keep you in the operating range of that cam for very long at all.
