Cam threads always get so complicated...alright lets go over what im looking at.

The sound in that video almost made me jizz my pants, i love it.
I will have cutouts probly never longtubes if thats any ballpark.

I would rather keep my stock converter MAYBE something mild like a tbtc DOWN the road.

What then am i looking at for a cam that will lope like that (cut outs open) and not destroy my bottom end.

did you think mine sounded "lopey" when you heard it the other night? Its a 115 LSA. faintly noticible with the hooker aerochamber that sounds killer with cutouts open.

umm yes and no, taylor i could tell yours was cammed, but I am looking for something more like whats his face had with the crewcab. Honestly that sound is about what i want, but going from his 4.8 to my 6.0 would take quite a bit more cam to produce the same noise. Im starting to come to the conclusion that i need to just sacrafice bottom end for now, get a good sized cam, and then some day down the line i can buy a good tc. So im looking for something like a 216-224 or a 220-220 or a 220-224 on 112 lsa, to the bring the power band down some atleast.

Those are all really small cams for a 6.0 by todays standards. Get something in the 230 duration

If you want to bring the power band down then advance the cam when you install it.
