The truck was to be my work truck, and still is, but I am only driving it a couple days a week, less now because the AC sucks and it got hot quick with it on, installed an electric fan last night, and left the mechanical fan on it. I want a cam to match my current combination without it being race only. I want power brakes and AC. MPG already sucks, how much worse can it get, lol. I'm thinking something in the 5.70 lift area.
Timing is set at 12 BTDC. It had great torque down bottom with the old heads, so I never swapped the advance springs out, although I have them. After the head swap I took it to the strip, it hit the tires harder on the line, but it was too hot out, I'm in FL, and I just quit working on it and went on to a different project after it didn't pick up what I thought it would. Now, a month later, I'm asking the question. I am going to build a double pumper for it, may be a lean issue, no pinging but not optomized. Also, I will put the springs in the dist.
I just want a cam to match my combo without being full race, and keep the 2000 stall. Heads came off a race 468 w/.250 dome pistons, eagle crank and solid cam. I have springs for a solid cam, so good for .600 lift I think. I would like to get the truck to 8.0s in the 1/8th, high 12 quarters.
