Both Comp and Cam Motion make cams SPECIFICALLY for the lope so many people think a vehicle needs to have to be badass.
I'd rather have a smooth cam, AKA Stealth Mode, and blow their doors off that way.
I know, it makes no real sense except for the scores of guys who think they're real cool. The Big ***** Thumper is for those guys.

Don't get me wrong, it DOES add power. It's just that there are cams that do the same power more efficiently and smoothly.

Bur how much to clarify I will add that I have an eldebrock victory jr with msd stand alone and the stall converter he told me what brand i forgot. Along with that hughs built Trans,all of wich have a few burnouts on them. All big money items that I cannot use in my truck the intake with msd is 1k well 950 somthing. When I told my tuner my plans and showed him the specs of the cam he said that's not a good idea. So what do I do with this motor na cause I'm not going to build it. So it has to be na cause I don't have play money for the pro charger that I want for my truck and, from what I read it's not good for boost. Does it have a positive point that I can build on?

So decisions were made So I decided to swap the cam and probably heads as I learned that he spent alot on the crank rods and pistons. Below is the kit that he used and the motor has hardly 100 miles on it. Does anybody recommend a head cam combination to give me the most power na without stall converter or small stall? It's going in a daily driven 2002 chevy 1500 4wd. Thanks in advance

Any idea on what the pistons are in the bottom end? It'd be nice to have an idea if they're domed or dished, so you could figure out what the compression ratio would be with various chamber sizes in your heads. More compression will help torque and mpg for a street motor, but will also affect what cam timing you can run ... you won't be able to run as early an IVC.
It's your "daily", but do you use it as a truck? If so, you'd probably want some "truck" cam, and maybe keep a little more margin on the compression ratio. If you like to hot rod it around a bit and don't tow/haul as much, you could go a bit wilder on the cam and compression.
