the engine is coming alot just waiting for cam ideas. the reason im not to thrilled about a upgraded cam is because of the price ive already spent way more on this than i have in my account

If you would have got a different cam for it would that mean you have to have cut pistons to clear the valves then?

I thought that any truck with a manual tranny already had the 60 lb springs so a jake brake could be added. Seems some after market springs go higher yet. Just my thoughts.

Not all aftermarket cams require fly cut pistons ... it just depends on how big you really want to go
