Default 04 ram 1500 cams?

I wanna put a big cam in my truck that gives it that off idle lope that lets you know it's a bad mother. I found on from crane cams a while back with around 580 lift. I can't find it now so does anyone know where i can find a cam like that? It's gotta be a bad mother cause I've got an srt10 to out run

You're gonna run into issues taming a big cam, get used to mutliple misfires even with a piggyback and a custom tune. BTW: You REALLY want to check out KRC Performance's CAMS. I'm going for a KRC 210 custom ground 4* advanced (a real torque beast grind!) but I'm waiting for the SCT tuner to be tested now that it's just been released for the Hemi. It will eliminate having to get the piggyback and can carry three custom tunes on it, unlike anything currently on the market.
Also be ready to get springs, retainers, rods & damper, not to mention headswiththe kind o***gressive lift you're talking, and don't forget the torque converter to get that power to the rear wheels...
But don't feel bad, I'm gonna have to do all but the heads to make my cam work with that grind...

I have 10,000 miles on a Comp 268 and only 1 misfire code. I think it all depends on the truck.
