Yeah I am hoping to get "close" to you turbo and blower guys in power numbers. I am hoping for at least 500+ on a 150 shot. I am going to need one hell of a tune though I think I will easily make 500 since I am already at 460 with stock heads and a 218/229 560/560 cam.

But I went with this set up because if I do decide to go bigger cubes I will be able to use the same heads and cam.

When I first start it up and it is warming up it will rock the truck, then it mellows out. As for idleing, I had to move the idle up to 800 rpm. I love the cam, I just want something bigger, I will pull up next to someone and they will say, does that thing have a cam in it. I wanted something that will make people same...DAMN that thing has a cam in it.

Well I shall see how this TR220 does for me, if I feel I can go more cam...perhaps I will get a TR224. All in time. I need some damned hardened pushrods soon too then.

Just a quick question, the only thing stock in my valve train is the rockers. How far should I push those??

Stock rockers are fine at many o' hundreds of RWHP. They just aren't roller tip is all.
