    In my own imaginary world, where. Respect for wome
    Well what kind of fuel you gonna be runnin w/ all those mods and the new cams? Won't be 87 or 89 so you'll have to run 91. And I would talk to a few tuners. I bet 91 is sufficient for your low boost build.

    And that cam says lower gears. You do know that means removing your 4.10 and goin w/ a 3.73 or 3.55?

    He could run 87 with the mods he has planned and could still use his 4.10s. Those are really mild cams

    I think lower gears mean 4.10 or 4.56, higher would be 3.73 or 3.55.

    The next tires I get will be 35s and I won't run anything smaller than 33. So 4.10 will be fine, I was even thinking about 4.56s Lol.

    I'll have to look into How much boost you can run before 93 is required. Wouldn't I still be able to bolt a blower on top of those other mods?

    Yea those 4.10s will be fine. Depending on how much cam you decide to throw in there you gotta keep in my mind your toque converter has to match up. If I were you I'd do what you're planning. Doesn't add hardly any extra stress to the bottom end like a supercharger does. So for longevity a cams , intake, headers , tune is a good way to go. Also reading the specs on those cams those are really mild cams, why not step it up a little if you're gonna go that far to swap em out? Like closer to .500 lift but just not a huge amount of duration.
    And if you did all this first an even a blower down the road that'd be the cats meow

    n/a works for me even on a diesel a turbo just adds to my migraines i get from work
    because what i have had rammed in my head all my life is a turbo/blower doesn't make something quicker its the gearing.

    If you want a faster truck cut off half of that loooooooon bed. Probably save 1000 pounds and the you are all set

    ?? Turbos or superchargers can add a ton of power which makes the vehicle way faster . Cams intake, tunes, exhaust do the same thing

    gearing does help with acceleration depending on tire sizes but has little to do with actual power

    I picked those cuz of the rpm range. I don't want to spin the stock motor over 6k and wasn't sure if some of those more aggressive cams make power low enough to matter.

    Of course everyone got me looking at Whipples again :angry94:

    that gets the power I want at the wheels, not crank lol

    Maybe i'll just do all the boltons except cams and the just bolt on a blower. Keep it under 10psi and see what happens. :chicken:
