I will use the stock rocker arm with hardened pushrods (stock length).Will also be changing to LT's,no cats.
Should I change the lifters and should I change the intake? Any suggestions welcome. Thanx, Brian

 

Ii would go ahead and change the intake for those higher lift numbers on the cam.

 

You don't have to change the lifters. With that cam, I don't know if I would change the intake out or not. I'm not changing mine out yet, gonna see what the numbers look like on the dyno first. Then, we MIGHT change it to a Victor Jr, if the numbers aren't what we're expecting. But I would try the truck intake out first, if it falls on it's face like everyone says, then buy a different one.

 

How bout some suggestions for an intake.

 

thats a big cam, it will work good if you go with a 3500+converter.

 

The guy at Patriot said the powerband is 2000-5800 what's your opinion on that? Any suggestions on an intake.

 

thats the same cam i'm running, 3k stall would be nice with it, I shift out at 6800 with it.

 

Tan327 ran that cam wtih a TT3000. thats a tight 3000 stall converter. FInd you a loose 3200 or 3400, he is rcsb, and his truck would have been pullin alot harder out of the hlole.

 

I have a 16' checkmate that i still need to tow. i will use a 10.5 vig with the 3 disc how much stall is it possible to tow with? This boat can't weigh much more than 1500 lbs.

 

if you are towing like that I would do a slightly smaller cam maybe like a 222 or 224, and go with a TT3000, thats a good converter to tow with occasionally...
