Ok guys this is my first post in the forum (other than the intro) so dont be too hard on me. haha.

I've had the truck for about a month now and have started a few mods and will be doing a few more in the next month. Im having a hard time deciding which Cam to go with and also what size Torque converter to use. Below is a list of all the upgrades I am tackling at the momment:


Eaton Super Charger ported by Posi Performance
Reische performance 170 deg.thermostat
NGK BR7EF Spark Plugs
JLT Cold Air Intake
Oil seperator
JLP Valve Body
Diablo Sport Preditor tuner
SCT MAF housing and sensor
Accufab Billet Single-Blade Throttle Body
DMH ELECTRONIC EXHAUST CUTOUT
2.75 UPPER BLOWER PULLEY.
6LB LOWER CRANK PULLEY
KILLER CHILLER
MICKEY THOPSON ET STREET II


CAM_______???
Torque Converter_______???

When everything is done I will be going to Deans Performance in St. Charles to get the truck Dyno Tuned by Bob Kurgan.

Ive done alot of searching on the forum to see what cams everyone is using. I guess im just worried about doing something too big and having issues. Which also brings me to what Converter to install. Im kind of leaning toward a 2400 stall. I dont drive the truck every day (not at all when the weather is bad) but will be driving it pretty much every weekend in the summer and plan on going to the track a few times as well. Im trying to go for something that still has the street driveability but will also show me some good gains and performance at the track.

Any suggestions or pointing me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I dont think cams will do too much for you at your current power level, but I may be wrong. I know more about 4V than 2V.

I would talk the Bob and Hans as they will be doing the work to the truck. I'm sure they can help point you in the right direction.

Im actually doing the work at a friends shop and will just be going to Hans/Bob for the tune. Hans seemed like a great guy (from the one time i talked to him over the phone) but I wasnt sure if he would mind answering question about work he wasnt doing.

I have an email into Bob already. I know he is a pretty busy person so im hoping he is able to get back to me.

well cams will not help alot with what you have right now only when you go built bottom end and alot of boost in kenny bell or whipple. i didnt do cams in my lightning but still made good power.

i replied to your email this weekend.. i just got back from IL about 2hrs ago... cams will definitely wake the truck up!

You have a good setup going, I am a big fan of comp cams I plan on running the same as I had in my 2v mustang the 270s. Can look into stage 2 blower cams as well. I need a converter as well have you checked out mannys on lightningrodder? Im going with one of his but in a 2600 atleast.
