I plan on going with like a 3000 stall but all depends on the cam. What mods did your buddy have to go 13.30?

Thanks for all of ya'lls comments and suggestions!!!

Sorry!! I didn't mean to steal Rabid's thread!!!

Takes his comments with a grain of salt he hasnt been there done that yet. Like I told you if you dont like the cam it will only take us 4 hours to pull it and put another in. Mill your heads and dont be a pu$$y

It's not that I will let people stop me from doing what I want to do, a lot of you guys on here have very good advice and know what ya'll are talking about!!! I wanted to get some more opinions also...Cody, don't get pissed now because I'm still asking questions or suggestions. Well, it's not that I wanted to do a 23x/23x cam, it's what TSP suggested. Comp was to conservative on their cam suggestions. I emailed Richard yesterday and he's going to get back with me. The cam you suggested isn't a bad choice either. I'm wanting to go as big as possible but not so big that it runs like !!!! Anyways, thanks fellow!!!!
