No, I don't have the specs on it, (usually don't get specs on FTI cam till you buy em) but, it was a motor from a member here if I remember right. If I recall he goes my Pit-man...

I always thaught having a smaller lsa pinched the powerbabd both ways. For instance on a dyno take the low end power and move it to a higher rpm then take the high end power and move that down. Some rpm. Thus making a higher peak power more midrange but less bottom end and high end.. Sorry for the misspelling my phone posses me off.

I've about come to the decision that I'm gonna hold hold off on a cam for now (spent too much money on other stuff in the rebuild.) Picked up some Hooker block hugger headers and I would like to upgrade the intake. Any ideas??

I would leave the intake alone, the 78mm will be plenty. I would probably have run the stock cam if it was mine also. You said your going with an automatic right? I would spend my money on a "GOOD" tranny cooler and dedicated electric fan for it. I saw a jeep on Big Bear one time with one up on the spare tire Rack looked pretty good and you could keep you lunches cool on the tranny

Yeah this has turned into a total rebuild so I gotta save some money for other things I need to do. I'd love to add some more power especially after seeing some videos of cammed 6.0s but I guess I need to upgrade some other stuff first.
