How about a stroker? A 408 would wake it up, could then use more cam duration wise while still generating more torque. I always thought the dakota R/T cam (and all post 2000 5.9's) had the best cam for a keg intake?




I have zero interest in a stroker for a 3/4 ton work truck. Not to mention I can make just as much power with a 360 for a whole lot less money. I'm interested in torque for pulling. I believe a 10 to 1 360 will get me where I want. 360's wake up with a little more compression any how.



A stroker makes the most sense for a big 3/4 ton truck that needs more torque and towing power. You can make the same power w/ a stock stroke 360, but it'll be at a much higher RPM and not be as tow friendly. The only reason not to stroke it would be cost, but it isn't much more if you're gonna be changing pistons.

Of course, w/ the gas mileage you claim from the 360 you currently have, there's no way I'd change anything on that truck. It has truly been blessed.
