Depends on what it's going in and what you want to do with it.

if you plan on putting it in a truck you better plan on some steep gears and a big stall

It is all relative.... I would consider it insane but others might think it is too small. Need more details on your truck and what your goals are and future mods.


I think it will be a dog no matter what mods you throw at it but that is just me

I think that you can get a nice lope without going that extreme. Especially if you just want to cruise.

That cam would be better with a 4000+ stall and 4.56 gears, imo. Go smaller and you'll go faster...

If you just want the sound, save your money...disconnect the bank 2 coils...it will chop like there is no tomorrow! Sounds badass! jk

That big of a cam, you would want hardened PR's stock length up to 7.4 long tops.
