Re: help with motor pick
Actually, you could run the truck cam for a while. 255 HP at 4600 rpm isn't bad, compared to stock TPI 350s.
If you're not insisting on power past 5500 rpm, cam choice is easy. It's from COMP, it's not the latest, but it is proven. 210/220-112 480/480. It'll want valvesprings.
If you want more, then that's beyond the scope of what I've tried.
