220 cam with all new valve train. no info on the cam. will upload it as soon as texas speed and performance sends it to me. i do not like the cam although it woke my truck up. it does not lope at all. it sounds stock. need advice.
thunder racing tune.
ngk plugs with taylor 8mm wires

Nice ride from the other Alvinite...

I have to admit, I see more than a few with the NOS, but I'm leaning not to be a fan of it. I'm pseudo old-school.

Welcome to the forum, +1 on cleaning up those stray wires!

Good idea to do some research before spending $$ on bolt ons, you'll find a lot of good info on this site!
