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

I wish you could too!

Being that it says N/A I'm gonna go ahead and assume that a turbo wouldn't get along very well with it.. I really appreciate all your help
