it'll fit, and so will the springs. stock pushrods will sufice, but hardened wouldn't hurt. from what I've heard it drives very similar to stock with some added mid to high power. I don't beleive you'd be required to go above a stock converter either.

i saw that it didnt look that big or powerful compared to others. it kinda looked like a topend cam, but our trucks need more bottomend than anything. right now im not really buying anything for my motor, but instead im researching all the parts for the best combination, without FI. Im kinda saving my money for a 6.0. my goal is mid 11's or lower on motor, that means no spray. i figure i could get a 6.0 and put stroker crank, forged pistons, rods, worked heads, cam, intake, and raise compression and meet my goal, with the right stall, gears, and tire size.

well I can tell you that's not the cam that will get you mid 11s you're shooting for.

yea, it will work. it wouldn't be a bad idea to get hardened pushrods & a higher stall. i personally would rather have a TR custom cam, but guys do run that cam. do a search, you should be able to find some post on it.
