Do you have a stock torque converter and are you planning to do one?

I like the 212/218 high lift with a yank tt3000. YOu will love it for a DD. That is a comp cam. YOu cant go wrong with it.

For your usage I'd go with a 2600 stall.

I'll be running a 224/224 with a 3200 yank converter in my one and only form of transportation. I drive 18,000 miles a year too.

I've already put 5k on my 224/224 cam since January when it was installed without any hint of a problem
