You can get a stock Roller cam reground for about 150.00. I just sold a Mopar RT cam for 50....Used cams show up.

well reground sounds like a good option to check into esp with the sausage cam numbers given and proven. next question what rocker ratio is suggested with the sausage cam?
just ordered all to button up the bottom end, this is getting exciting... whoo hoo

You can get it ground for either 1.6 or 1.7.

The stock stamped steel rockers are 1.6, you could use them at a loss of some HP (friction loss) but your pushrods will have to dead nusts on.

BTW...The Sausage Cam was named after the guy on the original Dakota R/T forum whom designed it, Jim Marshall. AKA Jimmy Sausage.

Just so you know...LOL

Its the gears in the diff that can kill ya. Too low (numerically) of a ratio, with large tires, and it takes quite a bit to get the truck rollin'.
