Has anyone heard of this. I don't think it would be good for a truck. Do you?
I don't think you are covering all your needs man? If you're looking for simply a number then yea that cam if right for you, but you'll have to spin that thing to 7000rpms to make power and you'll have NOTHING before 4000 rpms.

That means basically no towing for you, no highway driving, your 4th gear is pretty much useless, and you better get at least a 4000 rpm torque converter.

There are plenty of guys running those in the f-bodies, but you have to remember that many of them either have an M6 or a bigass torque converter, they weigh in the mid 3000s, and they have more displacement.

Hmmm, I am about 95% sure the cam is already spoken for... But I would ask 200 shipped, if the guy backs out....

Ok. That's kind of what I was thinking. I have heard some good and bad. Most of the good was on ls1tech and the guys had some pretty "beefy" cars. Thanks
