i have been questioning my cam decision lately. if you look at my specs in my signature, you see what parts im using and cam: a .454/.454 218/218 268h. the motor runs great, but i think it would be more well suited for a camaro. i think that this cam might have a little too much duration for my heavy truck with 3.07 gears. at full throttle from a stop, it will roast em and shoot to 6000rpms, but from a roll, it seems a little slugish and then gets into its power band. what do you guys think of the .440/.440 212/212 cam. speed wise, do you think it would be better for my truck and gear setup or is the cam i have now just fine?
