opinions will vary... first you need to make a game plan on what your wanting to do to your ride...then work from there

dont get a tbtc if youre going with a big cam like a 224/224. youll need a bigger one like a 3200+

im going with that cam and i havent even picked one out yet. 3200 will work but i heard bigger is a little bit better. it all depends on what your goals and practicality is. if its a daily driver you might want to go with a smaller cam. just do as much research as you can possibly make yourself do. take notes if you have to...it helped me

what do you use the truck for

Get more supoporting mods, and a torque converter, and run the 212/218 and a 2600yank...great overall power band

however..if you power hungry like me..i shoulda gonna 220/220 with a 3k stall
