Cam & engine gurus gtf in her meow!

So I have this exact camshaft in my '00 Ram 1500 4x4 with a 5 speed. In all honesty, it is a touch big for this application, but it is by no means gutless. I did deck the block and shave the heads for a bit more compression in the 5.9 Magnum. If I could go back, I would have dropped the duration @ .050" by about 10*. If I were you, look at a camshaft with 210 ish duration and a tighter LSA (like 108) if you want lope but don't want it to be a pooch off the line.
