What are the specs on that cam?

Love the stance and color for sure. Makes me miss my 73 that much more.

Awesome build & those Intro's are going to really set it off.

This thing is amazing. I think I would name that thing the Dreamsicle being that orange color. Very very nice work and I like the specs on that cam. Do you have a rearend and trans picked out already?

The cam isn't as bad as I thought it would be. I'd go with more duration, but you have it. Run it til you decide you want an upgrade.

I like it. And would drive the living crap out of it.

Exactly that I was thinking.

What are your total plans for the truck?

Thank you! I am pretty decided on a 4L60E with a rebuild from Bowtie Overdrive. I am however stuck on the rear gear that I want to use. The stock housing will be kept, but just what gear ratio I want to run hasnt been decided on yet. Any thoughts? Id like to have real nice low end torque, but also have it where its not annoying cruising down the highway.

I went with this cam as it has a nice narrow lobe separation for some nice low end power, yet will give me the HP/TQ numbers Im shooting for. This cam, in a TBSS has been producing 430whp with no other mods. As Im trying to get ~450whp, I think with a good set of headers and a nice port and polish, I should be able to get it very close to my goal.

I like it. And would drive the living crap out of it.

Thats the plan!

very nice build

Much appreciated!

Id like the truck to be a fun weekend hot rod. Mostly a fair weather driver that I can pack up and go to a show for some fun.
