i'd say a 212/218 or a 216/220 114

both would need some tuning for idle but you owuld pick up about 20-35hp im sure with those..

if you wanted bigger a 218/218 or a 220/220

I was looking at Vinci Performance's website the other day and noticed they had some nice looking truck cams. Not sure about everybody thinks about them but they are a sponsor.

Sorry but I will have to disagree with you on that one brotha. When it comes to cam selection, you dont want big, you want perfect. By that i mean, you need something that takes full advantage of your mods but doesnt overcam. Overamming IMO is just as bad as Undercamming. (is that a word? )

If i were you and have to go cheap, go ahead and get a TR220. It performs well but if you want to take full advantage of your mods, save your money and go ahead and get you a custom grind. Dont forget the 4.10 gears and the new stall converter.

Hallelujah.

I agree with FarmerBeau. Go with a custom grind. Not too much more but a better fit for your vehicle to achieve what you are looking for.
