Whoever spec'd that first cam was on drugs. That is way to much duration for a daily driven truck, not very much lift. It all depends on the TQ converter you want to run. I would run something in the area of 600 lift with a duration in the area of 228-235 on a 112-114 lsa. You could get away with a converter in the 3000-3500 range.

Specs in sig, low lift, like .551 or something. It seems like you have not talked to any cam companies, they can't give you a power rating. You are asking all the wrong questions and have a lot to learn. I suggest that you set reasonable goals and pay somebody to spec a cam.
