Check out the truck in my sig. With the 3k stall it moves pretty good for the weight its pushing under 2000 rpm it's a little soft. If you have a good stall going in with it that would help a lot. I think the cams you have would be good for the lower tq range even if you give up a little up top

Google Trick Flow tfs-30602001

You'll find it for under $300 which is a great price for a new roller cam.

If you want torque AND lope, see if you can get the first cam you listed cut on a 110 LSA.

Higher stall converters are great for acceleration, but might not be good for towing. I would check the auto trans section out, see if anyone in there has advice.

would a btr stage 3 truck cam with one of his spring kits be a good dd/play/towing (not too worried about towing)package or would the spring be alittle overkill and just go with some .600 springs

Best person to ask is Brian Tooley. I would go with .600 springs, but that is me.

The dual springs would be overkill, the beehive springs should work well.

We have the cam kit with springs for $419 shipped.
