I was looking at some Motive or GM (I think they are the same) gears, probably from Randy's. I wanted those cause I heard the Richmonds are hard to setup and are noisy. I want to try and do these myself too, I just need to buy a dial indicator, which i found on Ebay for cheap.

Wouldn't doing this bring the power in earlier and wouldn't it also make the idle rougher? I think that is what I read on another post. Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

Yeah, it would give you a tad bit more *** down low, and yes would idle a little rougher. Some like that. Where are you trying to gain the most power and torque. I read above you want to keep the idle stock sounding. Why not go with a ThunderRacing Old Man Cam? Its pretty much designed for these trucks for extra torque and a stock idle.

 

yeah I love the sound of a good cam at idle, however my GF does not. And if she is not happy, then I won't ever hear the end of it.

Well given the lack of torque in the 4.8 and the heavy 20's, i would like to add some more torque in the bottom end. From what i have read about that cam it helps the 4.8. I have not read abouthe Old Man cam in a 4.8, maybe I will look that up.

Thanks for everyones input thus far.

 

who's name is on the title?

 

Give me a break...... I am a wuss, but oh well.

 

Dump her... period. It will never last

j/k

And I also vote for the 4.10 gear.

 

Well here's the thing....that cam will never have a headache at night, it doesn't have "that time of the month", it won't take your credit card to the mall and max it out, it won't require a new pair of shoes every two weeks.........need I continue?

 

Then again a cam won't keep you warm at night either.... Naw my GF is great, in 9 months we have not had one fight, not one.

Anayways i have had a muscle car since I was 16, with loud exhaust and a cammed motor. Like when you pull up at a stop light the rock is just vibrating from the motor rockin due to the cam. Cool for a fun car that you don't drive everyday. I am really just enjoying my truck being some what stock and very reliable, and I don't have to yell while driving down the road. Besides like I mentioned earilier I want to try and tune the truck myself, so starting out with the truck stock learning to tune, then a small cam and then down the road a larger cam. I don't like people doing my work for me, I would much rather do it myself. Does that make sense?

 

I'm just yankin' your chain

I don't blame you, I'm a "don't touch my truck" kinda guy too

 

Damn dude sounds like you're more grown up than I am. It all makes good sense though. Hey where do you live in Ft. Worth? I lived there for almost 10 years.
