Vista comes in to save the day i cant wait to cam mine.

oh and dont get me wrong im not saying dont cam it, im just saying keep in mind its a street truck and without a huge stall and some gears you will lose bottom end, its more about the whole package like he said hes got a 3k stall so it should work perfect but if ur not gonna put a stall choose a cam thats got good pulling range from bottom up. I was researching the TSP 220r cam and it says 1200 RPM-6200 RPM pulling range which sounds really good, especially since my shift points are set at 6200 RPM with my tune and i could probably run it without changing converters

Yeah im getting close for my rims and tires then long tubes and y pipe. i wanna go back and forth from suspension to engine mods. like wheels will help handling and then long tubes and y pipe tune for performance and then some sway bars for handling again and then cam and retune for performance and then ill get around to bushing and then gears and a tru trac

UPDATE: 4-30-16

I bought my tires. Some nitto 420s 265/50r20. To me it seems to leave the least amount of wheel well and it isn't to skinny of a tire on a 2/4 and should have no rubbing problems. Tbh I scooped up a full set online for $630 total and I'm mounting balancing and alignment at the local college for free .
So the plan now is to get them mounted and on and everything good and buy my long tubes and ORY pipes from one of our sponsors for $350
