What year is your truck? That will tell us if it's odb1 or 2, and we can tell you if you can get your pcm flashed after swapping the cam.

If you don't have any supporting mods, headers, exhaust, intake manifold, Throttle body, heads with upgraded valve springs, adjustable rockers etc, etc....A cam won't be your best bang for the buck.

It was a custom cam I can't remember spec but with 1.7 rockers it's a 550 lift cam I'm was going to do rockers but ran off of money and time
