    well, there are a couple of members running the 3702 camshaft
    and to be honest they arent impressed. dunna know why, just
    they havent like them and some have switched to the crane 114122
    (2030) camshaft, now they are better satisfied. forged pistons?
    planning on 6000rpm+ engine speeds or nitrous or forced
    induction? if not you can cut your building costs extremely
    but using a more suited piston selection.

    a friend used these pistons before with 150 hp nitrous and held up extremely well over 3 yrs motor still ran awesome when he sold the car I will keep the nitrous less than 150 probaly more like 75-100hp

    Since your truck is a 4X4 i'd look into a cam with more low end torque. Crane should have a few.
