    Ms4 cams are solid however I would never DD a vehicle with that big of a cam, stall, and gears... I'm gunna go against the grain and say look elsewhere for a smaller cam and 373s.

    Keep the cam. That's a very proven cam. Once on the highway a 4k stall or stock will drive the same. The beauty of lockup. If you have plans for an 80e later do the 4.10s atleast. Just because you wouldn't dd the setup doesn't mean that it isn't done daily many. And if he's taking it to all these shows I doubt it's a dd. A big cam and stall have great manors if you get a good tune.

    Go big in general. Small cam or big cam same cost, medium stall or big stall same cost.

    Why not just try what you got, as far as cam & stall go, with a set of 4.10 gears and see what happens. How tall are your tires overall? This way you can tell if you want a to buy a bigger stall or just go back to a milder cam, or heck it might just work out just fine. Alot comes into count when your talking about personal preference, from whats tame to you not ever going to be the same for the next person.

    Thanks guys! No the truck isn't a DD but it is my sunny day truck. I just wanna make sure wpith the cam its not too much, from what I've seen this cam is soooo badass I've just been hearing that with this cam in my xcab truck 3500 won't be enough. I have no issue going with 4.10s I run 4.10s in my lifted 05 CCLB with a 6.0l and love the low end power but once I'm running about 75 mph its running higher rpm and burning gas like crazy. That was the only reason I was debating on 3.73s.
    So if I keep the cam and buy 4.10s how much of a difference is the 4k stall going to benefit me over the 3500?? Thanks for all the input guys!!!!

    You can always try it with the 3500, but it really NEEDS a 4000. Once you're up and going the stall won't matter, but getting it going is going to be a chore without a big stall.
