First,I agree with Chef.
Second, the 245's are overkill for your truck.The cam is wrong too. You have a heavy truck that needs midrange. I run 225's on 408's and 427's for a reason -velocity.
I would go 225's and up the compression.Then step the Cam down to a 232/238 on 115+4. That will bring vacuum to 16-18" and definitely wake up the truck.
Matts truck,brents Vette and mikes car run 225 heads with 234 duration cams.Very nice drivers.

I can't decide which way would be best. ****again, I'm talking about future plans, please don't flip out on me**** A cell would probably cost $600 I'm told. Then it's just a matter of making my fuel level gauge work properly and pluming the thing.
