the stall in going to use for now will be a 4200 and a 350th tranny. but ill either go to a 3500 stall 4l60e or a t56 later down the road. i was thinking about the same size cam a few people told me it was to big of a cam with a 5.3.... thought about calling one of the sponsers and just order a cam that fits my set up.

Sounds like a good spec cam to me!

Rockers Specs...
1.7= .607"INT/.609"EXH
1.8= .642"INT/.644"EXH

Would it Hurt to run my 1.8s on it and not put any thing in a bind? I thought it was the pv clearance but I was wrong. Defiantly gonna get a cam from y'all just wanna make sure it's the right one. Hate not to beable to run the 1.8

IMO, if you go with a 220/224 with XER lobes, you be at .615" lift with the 1.8's.
Consider going back to 1.7's, they would give you more lobe options without going too crazy on the lift.

only reason i would like to try to run the 1.8s are because i already have them and paid a little to much for them i think and cant find anybody that wants them the grind texas speed gave me is a custom ground.

bradw18, we can definitely spec you something better suited for the 1.8s if you are interested. Feel free to give me a call if you would like to go that route.
