    The hot cam is on a 112, its a good cam, just old and out dated. One of my buddies has an 03 with a 224/228 .581 112lsa with stock manifolds and 4.10s and it runs really good. Depending on what you want to do, there are alot of different off the shelf cams that work good. Look at a company called Engine Power Systems or even Texas Speed. I personally like the looks of the tsp 233/239 cam. Most will tell you its too, but they're retared hahaha jk

    What kind of power gains would I see with the 224/228 cam compaired to the one I have now? And I have to ask, my truck gets 20mpg now on the highway how much would it drop?

    as far as mpg goes...I have 4.56 gears, 30" tires a 231/242 .612 112LSA cam and I get 19.5-21 mpg. Thats gonna depend on how much time you want to put in your tune, atleast it did for me anyways

    I think you would pick up 25-30rwhp with a new cam

    What about the Truck Torque 3 from EPS? It seems like it's a cam for everything I have done. What do you run in the quarter? Thats a pretty big cam isn't it?

    That looks like a decent cam. Expect to spin it fairly high and run dual valve springs.

    Not sure what it will run. I'll find out this friday

    What are you expecting it to run? Do I need to change anything else but the dual valve springs?

    Man, I don't really know. Hopefully somewhere in atleast the 12's.

    chome moly push rods, might check the length on them. most off the shelf cams use 7.400 assuming the heads are stock. Thats pretty much it
