the machine shop built the heads the same time they built the motor, they used springs that were matched to the cam. and yeah i have power brakes, that was one consideration we had when choosing a cam. they said this will be a good performign cam that has a nice lope to it but can still be used with my power brakes. the end goal is to have a truck i can stomp on the gas and be put back into my seat, something i can lay some rubber with, i can jump in and drive it around town if i want, something i can take down the track if i want. basically a fun driving truck that i can do anything with. to hear 375hp is great! i was expecting somewhere around 350hp. eventually the motor will get pulled again (long term goal) to throw a nice set of heads (maybe vortecs, or some good aftermarkets) and an air gap intake on, which i am hoping will get me closer to 400hp. long term goals here haha
