Don't bother with a cam swap until you get the block decked/heads worked a 'lil/compression ratio way upped--etc... But if you must don't go anywhere near the .484 purple--even that is way too much. Go smaller or better yet-leave it alone. I'm sure a Datsun truck with a 40 will be plenty for a while. This is my best advice.J.Rob 2009 PHR\EMC Competitor 2010 PHR\EMC Competitor 2011 PHR\EMC Competitor 2012 PHR\EMC Competitor 2013 PHR\EMC Competitor 2014 HotRod/EMC Competitor 2015 HotRod/EMC NoShow 2016 HotRod/EMC 3rd place SPEC Bigblock 2018 HotRod/EMC 7th place G3
