My knowledge level doesn't extend into the world of big blocks, thus, I am seeking your opinions and advise. Here are the stats. 1. 86 DodgeRam 440 .030 over 440Source all forged 2. 10.5 to 1 compression 3. Truck weighs 4055 lbs. 4. Tire size is 33x12.50R15 5. Rear gears 410 Positraction (Shortbed 4x4) 6. Stealth Alum. heads 2.14 valves 7. Will be using 250hp Nos setup The $ 64,000.00 question is this. With this information, is there a formula one would use to determine cam size ( I would like a roller )and the appropiate manifold? This truck although show quality will be driven daily and it has factory A/C and power brakes thrown in the mix. Gas price and consumption is not going to be a consideration here. I DO NOT want to be BEAT UP by local diesel maniacs. I want it to be suprbad but still have my a/c and run on pump gas if possible. Thank you all for whatever advise you may offer. I anxiously await your replies.I also have a 440 tunnel ram(just a consideration)Thx. OldRam 4744068-ourhouse084.jpg (88 downloads) Last edited by OldRam; 10/11/08 11:17 AM.

Very nice truck. Mr. Runum 69 RoadRunner 383 4spd coupe, 06 Hemi Daytona Charger, 08 6.7 RAM QC short bed 3/4 4X4

As for cam selection, you need to talk to a pro. A custom ground cam for sure. If you really want a roller, THE guy with rollers seems to be Scott Brown. I'm not sure what his contact info is these days. You can probably find it with a search of the "Unlawful's race only" threads
