The original poster has a vehicle that easily weighs 800 more pounds than an SSS, add on top of that a cam 10*s larger in duration, makes that choice odd to me.

Everyone has a different view of driveability too though, I dont like to wait for my power to wind up.

I used to daily drive a 98 SS with a T rex cam, 4.56 gears, Turbo 350 (no overdrive) and a non lock up 9" 5400 stall about 90 miles a day. The truck is kind of slugish with about 15% throttle but after about 20% it's a whole different story

I still have the stock muffler so you really don't notice the stall much at all, very quiet.

This video is of his truck, it shows how I like my vehicles to run out of the hole

The tune is good, its been live tuned by Wheatley. He wants more top end so later on this year Ill be doing heads and a FAST intake, then sometime next year Ill build him a 408 to drop in, for that motor Ill probably put a cam in teh 240s duration area

Damn man I dont know how you do it. I had a 418 in my ecsb Z71 with a 237/242 cam and 4K stall DD'ing it every day and I hated it. Guess I like to have ym cake and eat it too

Bet your setup would be nice with LT headers, no cats and a e-cutout so you could still be quiet then open her up for some fun

nice truck!
but i think it is a big cam also after trying many different cams the only thing is you do have a good converter in it but i would not have went no bigger than a 220/224 some where in the low 600 lift on a 114 but hey different strokes for different folks.

good luck with the next part.
