would probably look at getting the btr truck stage 4 cam for your truck along with the new set of lifters and pushrods.

also would need to get some springs and shim them correctly for the cam along with possible trunion upgrade for the rockers.

Well I poked my head under the hood, couldn't really get a good look but it was windy, cold and starting to snow so it'll probably wait until this weekend.

Do you know how well that would compliment a turbo? How's the idle on that? Thanks for the input
