You got a great selection of tools for these trucks happen there bud good for you, no more payed for shop time. What make ball joint press did you get?

That'a a great deal on a very good tool. If you go to use it to change out cross-joints be careful it will bend things with ez before you know it's bent.

if you want low end, look up cam 20-745-9 thats the cam i have, and its good from 1k-5k, and is a extremely good torquey cam for the 360.

edit: also go with the 1.7's it will give you a total of .510 lift with that cam i mentioned.
