Do you want something that will just sound nasty? or do you actually want something that will make power? Also what does the truck weigh?
If you would prefer the rough sound over serious power and rough street manners, i say go with a Hot cam kit and a nice 2800rpm stall. The auot will nedd a dyno/street tune for anything larger.
You can mail me the junk intake if you aren't gonna use it
I'll even send you $$ to cover shipping.

Go to the internal section and read the sticky about cams. Then post in there about what you are looking for out of you truck. Don't get a hot cam like said above unless you don't want to much power over stock. It 's not a bad cam but if your going to do it do it right the first time. Good luck

That's why i consider the hot cam as a lopey "image" cam. 
I did say if he was only looking for a small increase in power and a good increase in lopey goodness that would be a good cheap option.
If he wants something larger to make real power than skip that cam all together. I say PM patrickG and have him spec you a cam, that's what i did.
