Lunati 237/242 112 is too small recommendations? I have a truck obviously by my sig. I am running a 3200 stall but it flashes to 3900 and when I leave in 4hi on the street back when the trans wasnt slipping it would spin all four for about 15 feet. My current cam is a Lunati 237/242 .595 .595 112lsa in my 418. I have full bolt ons with dynatech headers and an ORY so air flow isnt a problem. I also have DART 205s on it which will soon be swapped for a set of 225s with a full competition port job and dual springs. I am thinking somewhere in the high 240 range with 630 ish lift but I am no cam expert. This motor is going to get a **** load of nitrous sprayed on it as soon as I get my progressive controller and fueling lined out. There isnt alot of experience on the truck side with strokers and larger cams than what I already have. I am going to be pulling the motor this summer for a rebuild with better rings and I will be putting the new DARTs, a fast 90/90 combo on there and a larger cam and the cam is the only thing I havent figured out yet. I am going to an 80e as soon as my tax return is in and will be going with a trans brake and a 3600 brake stall converter so Im looking for max top end power. I will spin the motor as high as it takes for the best times.

You're ****** nuts. 
Maybe something the size of the T-rex or a little bigger... 24x/25x ?
I don't see a point in going much bigger, since you have a heavy truck.

Nah Im not nutts just like beating on cars that think that Im just another loud redneck truck
The turbo lexus ES300 didnt know what hit him last night
Anymore recommendations I was thinking of the t-rex but all I saw was the V2 one and those specs arent worth swapping cams for.

Got off the phone with an engine builder from a speed shop I deal with. It seems they want me to put a 244/248 .633 .633 113lsa. That sounds pretty good to me but with only 7*s difference in duration and 4 one hundreths of an inch lift IDK. I was really thinkin more along the lines of a 248/253 mid 600s on a 113 or so for the nitrous. Any cam experts have any input on this size cam.
