You are cammed and sprayed no real comparison to a stone stock setup.

In stock form they are dogs especially in a cc long bed 4wd config.

Any truck that weighs that much is a turd..

I have a huge cam, that everyone says you can't tow with a cam cause you lose torque. I have a victor jr intake, that people say you lose torque, so you'd think those there would defeat the purpose and make my truck even more of a turd for towing.. But for the op I'm sure he'll be cammed too..

Definition of turd while towing varies so what you like and how you are setup won't necessarily be for everyone.

What's the average cost of swapping to the l92s?

they way i look at it is like this. on a tight budget, L92 has the bang for buck. the huge intake valve shrouds and limits your cam choice unless you dont mind flycutting.

if your budget allows, a properly ported cathedral head can outperform the l92 style, but the bang for buck goes down.
