So i've been reading and getting a lot of valuable information on this forum and am starting to get a base idea of what my plans will be for my 96 454 Burby. That being said, a cam swap is on my priority list. I use the truck mainly for towing but I also take it out joy riding from time to time. It has 4.10 gears and I havn't done any mods to it. As far as cams go, Voodoo 60621 or 454 Ho or a 502 cam? I want the cam that'll best suite my needs and that wouldn't require any machining work to be done to the heads. I don't mind changing the valve springs etc... just don't want to have to remove the heads.
My plans are:
0411 Pcm swap
Longtube Headers(Headman or Thorley)
Cam and necessary head parts
Injectors and fpr (not sure what size inj. yet)
Dual 2.5 inch exhaust ( I currently have a Magnaflow cat-back)
Dynotune/Custom Tune
Volant CAI
160 degrees thermostat
Maybe e-fans
Cowl hood
Maybe Aluminum radiator(Performance)
My goal is to get as close to 500lbs of torque as possible with the stock bottom end. I just can't seem to get a definate answer on whether any of those listed cams would suite my needs and if they do, would I have to have the heads machined for the recomended cam upgrade parts to fit.
Also, with these listed mods, does my goal sound acheivable or am I missing something?
