    Cam in a dd

    What do you guys think about a cam in a dd good or not so good just thinking about putting in a cam but then also reading that some people liked their trucks better with a stock cam after having one so just trying to get some ideas on what y'all think

    There is no reason you can't run a aftermarket cam in a daily driver. Just make sure you get a solid tune and not go outrageous on the size of the cam. When you get to a larger cam size your going to need a converter not only to keep the motor in it power band but it also helps the engine not surge as much. This will not be a issue you will encounter as your cam will be on the smaller side to suit your needs.

    I love mine personally. vrx3 with a 3200stall. A small cam usually works out pretty well on a dd.

    I love mine. 219/230 .609/.604 117+2LSA. Still running the stock stall right now but would definitely benifit from about a 32-3600 stall.
