    im stuck between 2 cams that i think would work pretty good in my 83. the truck has a 6" lift, 36" super swampers and 4:10's the truck also has a SM465 for a transmission. the motor has 9.8:1 compression ratio. im gonna use the s/r torquer heads that i have and save the aluminum holley heads for the 383 im building. what cam from the 2 below would work best in my truck or is there a different one that would work even better?

    I did end up going with the comp and i like it. a lot more low end than the cam that i had in there, even before i ground down one of the lobes and shortend a lifter by roughly a 1/4". lol
