you have to let them know that you want to bust some
*** red light to red light but at the same time you get in a roll race 15-20+ you wanna spank some *** or atleast keep very close. let em know that your staying 3:73s an your not wanting to go any lower. also youll have to start putting 93 octane so Truckshop can make that thing a monster of a roll racer.

yeah White1 had a very fast RC back when i first Started modding my trucks. i didnt know crap compared to his crew on GOI.net

i went with a spec'd cam for my 6.2 bc its the same price as the off the shelf cams.

yeah people are lift crazy...my spec'd cam doesnt even have all that damn lift. id rather have a max lift of .590-.595 but thats just me. im not a cam god so it could be better for a roll racer to have all that lift.

TR tried to talk Skoal Bandit into 4:56s an a 3000 stall...woulda had a poo of a 1/4 mile time an would get raped by a 4cyl civic.

I would do the headers first..... I did my cam recently... it is the ASA.. stock mani's still. I had magnaflow catback with cats and I WAS VERY DISSAPOINTED IN THE GAIN.. I even had the heads shaved and 3 angle valve job. I got my exhaust redone... true 3" duals with x-pipe and no cats and felt like a 30hp gain. I CAN"T WAIT FOR THE HEADERS!! But I should have done them first and will next time!

Cam isnt even on the radar first. Based on my experience headers and stall will givd similar sotp gains bit the stall will be way more fun. Youve got access to such a wider rpm range with just the flick of your ankle.
