I've had 3 cams in my 408 (2600 stall w/3.73 gears) ext cab Z71, they are/were:

232/232
236/242
240/244


...the 236/242 is the best all around DD cam out of these three for my setup...I'll prob put a 248/254 in this year and see how it works.

Well it's my every day driver, and when I go wheeling it's usually sand dunes or some trails with a little of everythig. I do need some torque for some steep spots, but I also do some street racing haha my goals a 12.9 at the track n/a on my stock tires! I know these are all conflict of interests but I do think a bigger cam would be helpful because of by stall
