Default Cam for Radix

So, now that I have the blower problems licked, what do you guys think about a cam for the truck? I have stock tranny and converter.

Do you think a cam would be the best bet?

Should I do a shift kit and billet servo first? If so where do I find the shift kit and such?

I have a FMS blower cam that has 200 miles on it, if you're interested. It's a 218/224 .565/.588 114 +4. PM me.

I would sy something like BenKey has. That would be a nice one for the RADIX, it will pull higher than you will prolly wanna turn the motor though. My 216/220 hasn't peaked at 6500 yet. If you spin to 7k, which that cam will want every bit of that, you can run a 3.1" pulley and will be spinning the blower 16060 rpm, which is way over the rated 14k. You should be able to get away with that though.

I would recommend something a little smaller for a 5.3.

Ben, you have a PM.


ret, I'm not just saying that and trying to take it out from under you ... if youwant it, your first in line. I just didn't want you thinking I was trying to convince you out of it so I could get it.
