well, i finally made the jump. getting a cam off of a guy from another forum. gonna send the money today. been looking for awhile. i just wanted one that wasnt to radical so i could use my 1.7 rockers with it. with the 1.7's that should make the cam have .515 lift. 360's are good to about .544 lift. i donnt think it is really gonna be the perfect cam but it should be a nice little improvement in the 2k and up rpms. now i need to decide if i wanna go ahead and wait and get new heads before i install it or not. i will need to replace springs since i am running it with the 1.7's anyway....here is the cam.i am not getting the lifters. i am pretty stoked. with the 119 centerline it should be pretty decent when i finally get the procharger added.

i hear you on the sct. it is still on my to do list. i will probably wait till i get the heads to get everything installed at once. i am in no super hurry and why do things twice.

and all the things i have done so far, i have already lost a little bottom end. i am hoping when i finally get my gears it will really help. heck if that donnt work i will change out the torque converter too. man, it just never ends. if i had about another 10k$ i could just about finish up my performance mods. lol

dodge1500- no, no gears yet. sometime in the near future. i just couldnt pass the cam up. it was right in the ballpark of what i was looking for. and a pretty darn good price.

johnny- its probably gonna be a little while before i get it put in. i am gonna go ahead and get the heads i want and do all the work at once. it wont be a long time though. gonna start saving up for the heads now. actually threw 300$ in the sock draw today towards the purchase of the heads.lol
