    What up man! Nice lookin truck... So, looks like you wanna step it up a little bit... After you get the LTs, CAI, Exhaust, and Nelson tune...you should step up to some gears or a TC. Wat gears/rear end are you currently running? And as for the cam (since you are wanting to stay N/A) do something with lower-mid range power... Like a Comp 269HR 112 LSA or a 20X/21X .52X/.53X 112 LSA. You may also want to go head and get the Comp 928 valve springs and some 7.410 hardened pushrods. The 928 springs may be a little overkill, but god springs nonetheless since the 918's have been giving people a few problems... And if you stay along those lines for a cam and get/have some decent gears, a 2600 stall is all that may be necessary.

    Right now I am running stock 3.42 LSD. The Comp 269HR is the cam I have been leaning towards so thanks for the reasurance. This is my first venture into more than just bolt on mods, so I am looking forward to it. I have been able to find a few cam install threads but I am curious if there are any with some pics to go along with the procedure.

    Yeah, I am certain that 269HR 112 LSA would be a great cam for your application... You can use the Search tool and find out more with the cam install process. If you are half-way mechanically inclined, you can do a cam swap yourself--with the proper guidance... If you have any questions about the install that you can find in the forums---just PM one of us. We'd be glad to help out!
