no it doesnt. if you are wanting low end power then you need to get some timing put in it. 2* ground in to it. ask big tex to help out.

02Denali you say 'mean' as in powerful and lopy?
Good question. From what i'm understanding is the lower LSA will lope more and have its power way up high, thus not be as street friendly.

The higher LSA idles smoother with its power in the mid to top rpms, thus being more street friendly.

From what i've been told the Lingenfelter cams are not made to be street friendly. There made for awsome power, and thats pretty much it. Why dont many people have these cams? Are they too much, or not enough?

i want a cam that is sorta in the middle i do pull a trailer probably 3 times a year nothing big just a snowmobile trailer or a car hauler with light weigh on it. but i want a cam that is going to lope where someone might be able to tell there is a cam, not to choppy. and i want it to work well with a tt3000 and knock some time off my 1/4 mile. i really only use my truck on nice days and thats only driving it to class and to my buddies and girlfriends house. and i take a couple of trips a year, like four 300 mile ones and one 2000 mile one.

So your truck is a show queen, and not an everyday driver? I dont blame you. i bought the Z28 for a daily driver to keep some of the miles off my truck. But when it comes to long road trips i'll only take my truck. The power captians chairs are like lazyboys on the 2k+ mile trips. Then again with the gas prices the 34mpg of the car vs. the 16 of the truck i may start driving it even more.

well i got my 98 ranger ( 210,000 miles 4 banger)for work purpose only. i put down epoxy floors in industrial building and i get the paint all over me. it doesn't come off whatever you get it on, so i definently dont want it on my leather. plus i get 20mpg and i never really travel that far so i might as well drive it. to top it off i can beat the hell out of it and it still gets 16mpg. where as the z71 i can get 16 driving it like my grandma (not to easy for me to do).

it is now going to be project #3 i want to get baja suspension, 302, and some paddles and take it to the dunes.

#1 my Z71
#2 1987 yamaha Banshee
#3 1998 ford ranger
