I have heard alot of good things about Marty @ KRC Performance. They have a lot of youtube videos of thier builds.
Her is their cam selections; first one might be the best out of all of them.

BTW just FYI if you weren't aware already you have an OBDI computer which there are slim to none when it comes to computers/chips.

Basically like an operating system. trucks built prior to 1997 have an OBD1 interface, and trucks built 1997 and up have OBD2.
The problem with OBD1 is it is very limited in what it can control, monitor, and has *******ly no programming capabilities. IE few after market tuning chips are available.

Same year?
By "chip" do you mean something like super chips, or a $20 resistor "chip" from ebay?

i apologize to the OP for getting off topic here but i was wandering where you were getting yours from? I know they are getting pretty scarce, so i have heard and read. I know KRC sells them but its for 96-00 but for pre -96 do you know of any other. Ebay hasn't had any recently that i have seen.

EDIT:
I found some on Summit- oops!
