Default KRC vs offroad driving

just curious.. I've been looking at all of these highly modded rams by KRC performance and am very interested. my question is, would a truck like that with a big lopy cam have the low end torque for off-road wheeling? and are they reliable enough for a daily driver? if you can make one that fits that, im definitely dishing out the cash for it

A stroked truck will have plenty of sack down low.
The camshafts all have a profile, or rpm range, that they are designed to shine in. You can get a cam specifically for low end torque (commonly referred to as a towing cam or RV cam) or you can run top end HP for the strip. You can't really have both to any extreme.

Getting started on mine this week. Went with a mild cam and probably stock heads. Should be a tranny snapper.
