Default cam

ok ive got a 98 dodge ram 2wd ext. cab w/ 318/auto, and am wanting to put a cam in it.
heres the specs:
duration @ .050" int./exh. 218/228
lift int./exh. 441"/441"

and i plan on gettin a new set of lifters to match it..

Default RE: cam

Cam selection is one of the most difficult and critical decisions to make. The magnum heads don't flow the best, so you need to choose a cam that has a little more lift on the exhaust side vs the intake, same goes for the duration. The cam needs to compliment other mods as well. If you are going to retain a stock motor, a cam swap would not be the best thing to do. This is just my opinion.
