Re: '78 3/4 ton 4x4 FRANKENTRUCK

Yo! Ryan,...guess I'm not the only one that did his homework! Yeah I think it would do very well. The cam has a bit more than stock lift and duration, is designed for towing (and 3500 lbs of Camaro is TOWING,...that's why I chose it after running countless scenarios on computer programs), and produces a very good HP and torque curve at lower rpm's (2500 to 4500 or so). With my engine's setup (remember, THIS setup), I develop 411ftlbs torque at about 2500rpm and roughly 325 to 350 hp at 3500rpm,...my Camaro's rear gear is 2.79:1 so I need tremendous torque to turn that gear quickly, and enough HP to continue that power production once the torque is applied.
They call this a "towing" cam because it's not a high lift, long duration cam, but it is a good step up from the stock cam and ya can't argue with the price! Or the gas mileage! Todd.
