He has the stock stall but is running 4.10s which helps with the low end on the cam. He does have a custom tune w/the cam too. I dont think that i would do a cam with stock 3.42s and converter. I would do at least one or doing a cam swap might actually net slower times.

(I'm sure that a 112 lsa would help that)

Thats the same cam I bought, but with the 112. How do you like it? I have a 2000, is my PCM good to go, or do I need the 02?

It's nice for a daily driver...your's should lope more and have a little more low end with that 112. I'd recommend the 02 PCM, but I guess you could give it a shot first.

Good, thats pretty much what I wnnt. A nice d/d with a little lope, and a little extra unph for offroad, and on ramps
