hows that setup working daily?? you have a stall or gears or anything? i dont want a cam that il need a stall.

And is it at stock rpm idle? i think like hundred rpms lower or something make it really hit hard.

i got a 3000 stall, 4.10 gears, and most of the other bolt ons, you dont need a stall, but it will help alot with your times, i ran the came without a stall for about 3 weeks, the low end torque was good. the truck idles at about 850
