anyways, it is nothing compared to a 6L, but for what it is i can't complain...
Your heads have 2.02"/1.575" valves 243s have 2.00"/1.55", your heads have 220c runners stock 243s have 217, hardly any difference at all. I think your truck benefits alot from the CR bump and that 110lsa.

I guess when youre a tuning wizard you can make anything run good

I dunno about that but the cam was the key part. My previous cam 222/224 112+2, was a dog at part throttle, when I switched to the 108+2 cam, the low end/part throttle was so much betterprobanly because the increase in dcr. I also started shifting alot higher probably due to the +1* of overlap

What RPM are you shifting at? What heads did you have on when you were running the 222/224 cam.

I shift at 6900, according to my dyno graph the power stops climbing at 6600ish. I was running the same PRC heads with the 222/224 cam

ordered my cam this morning. tr220-112, and a new set of Patriot golds w/ locks, seats, retainers, and new seals. springs will be here tommorow and cam should be here next week sometime. Thunder was out of 112s. John at Thunder Racing is a cool guy, I had no issues at all when ordering.

good choice, because with spray you don't want/need a lot of overlap like you do running n/a
