Looking for advice towards my build. Motor is a 2005 lq4 with about 200k, will be mated to a tko-600 with 3.92 gears in the rear end and will be going in a 99 dodge dakota rt. Goal is 400+ rwhp on pump gas. Looking for advice on what camshaft/spring and retainer selection would best suit my application. Also what size/brand would be a good dbc throttle body?

Everybody on here go have they own opinion on a cam for your build about the specs. I say pick up the phone and call around to some cam guys such as Brian Tooley, Martin Smallwood, Kip , Ed Curtis and Pat G. All have earned respect in the game. Go with the guy that you comforts you the most about your build.
