What type truck are you, 2wd or 4x4. Do you care about having trans control or are you fine with the stock shifting? Are you going to race the truck or just want more power for daily driving. Basically I need a little more info about your truck and what you want to do with it before I can tell you what cam will work best for you. I know you are looking for a big cam so I have a couple in mind, just depends on what you are planning on doing with your truck.

that is a really mild cam...if you want an aggressive (and pcm friendly) cam. Check out inertiamotorsports.com , the fastest (1/4) na stock block qc that I know of has the same cam I do... talk to Stu..he can custom grind an aggressive cam that can be pcm friendly..

i am a 2wd i would like to eventually convert to a manual transmission so i guess stock would be fine for now and i drive it every day so daily driving but i would like to show up at the local drag strip and send them all home crying!

Since we are on the Cam subject, the cam i was looking at is just a basic cam?? What would be good one to fit my truck??

I alternate my truck with my car so i use it 50% of the time. Never been to the drag hopefully next summer. Just want it to have the extra power to keep up with the Tundras. I have a 4X4 QC Big Horn Edition....

Start upgrading other things and save the cam for a little while. The bigger the cam you go the more supporting mods you are going to need to really take advantage of it.

Pushrods, the tools to install the cam, and a tune depending on what cam you use.
