Will be use in a 84 D150 4000# truck with 2.9 rear gears lockup 904 and 29" tall tires. 360 fresh bottom end 8.5-1 comp stock open chamber heads "1.88-1.60" valves. 1 5/8 headers w/2.25" duels and stock cast intake with small 4bl. This is my daily driver and Millage is really important. So I will either get a Lunati VooDoo 60400==250in 256ex {208}-[213]@50 .454in .454ex 112lsa or 60401==256in 262ex {213}-[220]@50 .454in .475ex 112lsa This will be used daily to work and speeds range from 40-65mph. On rare ocassions it will be used to tow up to 7k and mostly highway when towing 65-70mph. So RPM range will be 1k-3k with most of it's life in the 2k-2.5k range. Help me make up my mind I need to get this on order soon.
