    I happen to know a guy with a big FI cam for sale. I bet you he'd make you one hell of a deal on it. Maybe trade you for broken parts.

    What's the compression and what do you intend on using the truck for, and is it FI or NA?

    I will give him the broken parts, but the motor is going NA for now. This is expensive stuff building a new motor!!

    Turbo will wait for a year, then new cam.

    I would say that is pretty damn close. I like it, you will hear it lope a bit but will be streetable. I would go with it if I were you.

    well, got off the phone with Erik at HKE and he said my cam was too small. COMP CAMS 54-448-11 GEN III/LS1/LS6 350 XTREME XE-R XER287HR CAM FasterThanThem.com

    He says this is a nice safe/sane cam for a 408
