What size is your exhaust? What ring gear ratio do you have? auto or stick? What are you looking to do with the engine?

Do you have anything you're looking at right now? I went with the Comp XFI 268H, and I have a very similar setup to your vehicle. I don't have it together yet, so I can't tell you how I like the cam yet.
