Or get ahold of Pat G and have him spec a cam for you. I am very happy with mine.

You should consider LEP's stage 1 blower cam. its a 224/230 612/612 I believe, I could be off on the specs, I think its a 115ish LSA... that cam has been proven to make the power with Maggie's. Id hit up Garth at Leading Edge Performance and talk to him about hit maggie blower cam. I think that'd help bring up your hp/tq numbers...

No, this is how it went down.
About 1 1/2 years ago I bought the truck bone stock out of California w/ 9K miles on it.

First came a CAI.

Then muffshop dual magnaflows, (the si/so 3" X 18" behind the factory 2 3/4" mid-pipes & catbacks to the mufflers), w/ dual 2 1/2" tailpipes out the back.
Typical mufflershop texas duals. Remember the VHO's don"t have a y-pipe, and i didn't put on an X-pipe. LOUD.

Next came the dynatech lt's, (1 3/4" primaries w/ 2 1/2" collectors into their catted 2 1/2" mid-pipes into what was left of the muffshop set-up).
VERY LOUD!!

Then the cam. Next was the 4l80, stall & the maggie. DOUBLE LOUD AS HELL.

I drove it around like that for about 6 months, way loud and sounding like ***, until I coudn't stand it anymore so I put on the 2 1/2" di/do right after the catted mid-pipes. I had ordered a 3" x-pipe to install, but somebody screwed up and sent the 2 1/2" i/o!

I told him to "go ahead and put it on and let's see what it'll do"...baaad move! So yea, it has 3, count 'em, three mufflers on it now! It's cobbled up now to beat hell! It does sound a lot better just putt-puttin' around, but seriously I'm thinking that's what my problem is.

And thanks to everybody for their input on the cams, but DFW sniffer cops are gettin' tougher every year! I was sweatin' bullets this past July pullin' into Jiffy-lube for the inspection with the "load" duals, cam, loose stall and an illegal blower! Luckily I had downloaded the EO-Carb# paperwork for a mp112 for '03 to '06 GMC's, and they couldn't tell the difference!

One last point before I finish this novel.

Last may when Allen and I were driving around tuning for the maggie, we were watching what HPT had to say about the TQ. I saw 468, and when I told Allen he said "That's great, because it's almost exactly what we see on my dyno, and the HP will be above that!"
