If so what year? if not what MP cam from the list below will NOT require a comp change now but will benifit later? You all totally rock!

is this an automatic or stick? your convertor could be to tight depending on the cam. some of the cams shown may require a higher stall and stronger valve springs. Each cam should show what springs are needed and the minimum stall for best performance.

R/T's came with the EXACT 5.9 that the rest of the trucks did. Nothing is special about the engine.
