With the added compression that cam and converter ought to run pretty good in an rcsb. The only things I would change would be go with some of TSPs 1 7/8 headers, ditch the cats, and go with a .04 headgasket for better quench. That would net mid to low 11s CR wise(off the top of my head) which would make for a nice street truck. Maybe later get the converter restalled to closer to 4000. Just look at skeets truck and copy it if you want a badass 6.0 powered truck

well said. I would love that setup, but my weight KILLS me. I have a Tahoe, just dont know if 217/224 would be too small for my Yank 3200 stall converter with Truck intake... But Yea, I would like to run like Skeets truck.

I guess ill update the top post, my headers are 1 7/8 with no cats and getting a 4000k triple disc stall. I guess we will see how it works, i didnt want to run the same setup everyone else does witt a tr 224 pr 228. I think its all going to work very well together and performance well

So whats the weight difference from a single cab to my extended cab? would this cam be too big for me to run on my truck? was thinking this or a little smaller with a 3600 triple disk convertor. Also have 4.10's in the rear.
