I don't know if it was due to my cam selection or just the nature of it, but all the gains in the h/c setup for me are not low/mid. I don't typically wind it out far enough towing to really be in the area most effected by this change.

I would love a tvs 1900. A roots sytle blower is exactly what this truck needs for what I do with it and longevity. I hope this cam is okay for that (if I ever save up the pennies to go that route).

Hope to get to the track this weekend though! With 4.10s and 35s I think I'll only be using two gears to get down the 1/4 hah.

A set of 1 3/4 longtubes into a 3" y pipe into a 3" si/so or si/do muffler with a re tune should net you some nice gains..even with a small cam, you need to let that motor breathe..may see 20-25 hp/ft lbs after a re tune..
