Topic: Best Bolt On's for performance?

I only live a few miles from the park and have a garage full of tools.

Sounds like we have another volunteer.

I was just yanking your chain about doing it in the park. This isn't the type of mod I would want to start on when I'm away from home for a short weekend trip. You might get stranded if something out of the ordinary happened.

Fowlhunter and I already have a mod that we need to work on Saturday (if it is ready to go by then) and then the ballgame Saturday night.  I appreciate all the help offered though.  MBT and MO, I will be picking your brains in the coming days on this cam deal!  I think a lot of my power issues are the result of my 4.56 gears (should have gone to 4.10's).  Lots of low end, but lacking at the top.  Thanks guys!!

If more power on top is what you are looking for, short of forced induction, a cam is the way to go.  It is cheaper than forced induction, but at least as involved as far as installation goes.  Plus, your truck just sounds meaner just sitting there idling!

I could possibly be talked into a road trip to help a brother out with this job.  Would require lots of pizza, beer, etc., as an inducement.

Have plenty of extra beds and garage, but lacking adequate tools. How about plenty of homemade Mexican food and margaritas?

I have tools, and greatly enjoy Mexican food and margaritas!!!

I have a chef I imported from El Paso and you can't get any better Mex food in Nashville. I need to do some more research on specific cams and get a parts list. You have a grandbaby coming, so I'm sure your spare time will diminish soon.

Granddaughter came Friday night!  My son and I were/still are planning on going to Gatlinburg first weekend in August.

Do your research.  See what's available.  I got my cam used off of ebay.  I've got about 100,000 miles on it now!

Congrats on the new granddaughter!!  They are great.  Mine is 2 1/2 and a holy terror.  I'm ready to go as far as wanting to do it.  I just need to do my research and get the parts in (and go to the grocery).  I thought the 4.10's would be the way to go, but I think the cam will serve my purpose much better.

You may want to take a ride in my truck at Bratfest before you pull the trigger.

I'm sure, from what I hear, that I will be impressed with how she runs.  My research may take that long (probably not).  I've read a lot about what the outcome of a cam swap is and I think that is what I'm looking for!!
