it will more then likely self destruct.... naw the 4.10s will help alot since you probably have 90ftlbs of TQ with that cam and stock converter lol... but address the rear suspension.

With the already shitty low end of the 4.8 being exacerbated by that cam you will probably have better luck running it in 3rd the whole time. If you ever get tired of that cam let me know, Ill pull it for you

well the boat and motor itself is 1200, its a light go fast bass boat that barely sits down in the water lol, so 1200 plus the trailer

exacerbated? say what? hahaha....i have thought about doing a cam swap to a higher compression cam with a lower lsa since the turbo plans for the truck are out the window, i'll let you know if i swap it out

I have the Firestone Sport-Rites. Easy to install and hold their air. I use them for a 900lb tongue weight on my trailer. They give a solid feel overall, too.

Once you build you actual truck, they're more expensive than the firestones from auto anything.
