I feel a lag when I'm at a light and try to go but when I floor it at a 30 roll it's a beast once it hits 50 it's a hard shift tho

the split on that cam is pretty excessive, not the best cam choice for that motor IMO.... you would see more power and driveability out of a TR224 i think and you could run a smaller stall. what made you want to run that cam? and also do you daily drive this truck?

wrong section btw lol
