What is a mild cam that will work with the factory heads? Looking for aggressive as I can get with the factory heads

 

Depends on how far you are going to go. You can get pretty berserk on the cam, if you are willing to change springs and such. Question becomes, what other mods do you have? Intake? Headers? Bottom end still stock? Are you willing to do some tuning?

 

Tuning is the bigger issue, You can put in a aggressive cam but that doesn't mean it will run very well without a tune.

 

I plan on getting a custom tune

 

Then you can go as crazy as you want. Just get something designed for the purpose you have in mind for the truck, and matches the rest of the components.

 

Thought about Hughes but unsure. So many choices lol

 

I think most of hughes cams are re-grinds, so, gotta watch pushrod length. I think prices on cams are pretty much the same, regardless of where you get them from....... So, find the grind you want, and buy it from whomever has it.

 

That's the thing under on what I want. I'm in it this far might as well replace the cam. They SEEM to know what they are talking about. I'm open to recommendations though.

 

What's the stock lift, so I can try to find a can that work? Also Happy Memorial Day at 3 there is a moment of silence if you participate in that!

 

Stock is like .460 or something or other, max without changing other parts is .480.

With stock heads/bottom end, I would stick with a cam that wanted to play in the 1000-5000 RPM range, designed for towing/RV. What intake ya have on there? If you are still running the kegger, then you REALLY want to stick with a cam that builds its power down low, as if you try and run higher RPM, the kegger will choke you out. I think it maxs out at around 4500 or so...... (mainly due to runner length.)
