Well thanks for the input, I am waiting on a rare conversion u joint for the dodge 7290 to 1330. should be in early next week and then I'll try some launches on the street. I guess I can set a gopro on the side of the truck to watch the wheels, and a camera on the ground under the truck maybe

I have about .600 lift on both ends. My cam pulls clean up to about 6400 in my set up. The 228 will probably be a tad more. It's really gonna scream if you can pull off 12's with bolt ons only.

In the 6.0 I prefer cams with a slight exhaust bias since the intake valves are pretty big. I'm not sure how big they are on the 241's, but I know they are smaller on the 5.3 etc. Also, what does your exhaust look like?

F-body 1-3/4 stainless headers to 2.5 pipes to a dual in dual out flowmaster, not the best but it sounds good

I want to swap to this, I have always thought it would sound bitchin
