Hello,
As the title reads need help choosing a cam. Currently, I noticed my tuck engine making a tick/tapping noise. After doing some research, everything came back as lifter failure. So I just thought if I have to replace the lifters might as well do the cam. I really don't understand how to choose a cam, but I know I want a stage4 cam. I'm not obsessed with over choppyness, but I do want something that sounds nice. When I pull apart the engine to replace the lifter I will also be replacing/upgrading the rocker arms, adding longer push rods,new valve springs, new high flow oil pump, and new timing chain. Side note I already have JBA headers and a custom duel exhaust with high flow cats. It also has resinators. Engine is a 5.9L 360 for a 1998 dodge ram 1500
