ok thanks and also see if they will work good with nos and a turbo. gas mileage doesn't matter to me. it is going in a 408 stroker.

Here you go here is a clip of a car with a 408 in it with a cam thats a bit bigger than a t-rex so the t-rex will be a bit more muffled and also the car has an open y-pipe so it osunds kind of poppy.

what compression ratio do you have and are planning to have any FI and what compression would you suggest i get to run with the t rex cam and do you think that cam would be a good choice for me.

Im am basically going to be running a t-rex cam in my truck but just a hair smaller. You can definately get away with in your much lighter truck. I am going to be running 10.7:1 CR if you are going to be running FI then you need to be around 9:1 IMO.

Yeah a 110lsa isnt as good for FI or nitrous. It makes your n/a performance better but at the expense of the power adder performance. The cam in my sig will work good for FI and nitrous, it could use a bit wider lsa you might look into a TSP MS3 cam they are on a 113lsa and is a high lift and long duration cam. Are you going to put a turbo on it or not. If not then go with a narrower lsa if you are then get something in the 113-115lsa.

if i get good enough power out of this setup then i more than likely wont go FI but might settle with just 5psi because i can get it from a friend dirt cheap. but i would like have awsome power out of all motor by itself na

Well hell hook me up then Ill buy it from then.
You will get plenty of power out of the 408 if oyu go with a decent size cam and good heads with a decent CR then you can spray it when you need to and a forged 408 can handle a 200shot easily and be pretty reliable.
