Thanks for the link but what would a guy do if he has a c6 transmission ?? Thanks

 

It's easier than pie. No need to worry about the transmission.

 

Ok so what should I do a computer ?

 

Mustang computer. Cal code A9L, 8LD.
Just read what I posted, it's the same, minus the Trans.

 

Here's some more info

Thanks so much, now hopefully I can use that camshaft

 

Duration is more important than lift, what are the full cam specs?

 

I'm not for sure I think its a 268 duration . Its a lunati. Part number 51012

 

Intake .544 exhaust.560 duration is 242 . It says I need a 3000 stall. I dont want to use a stall converter. Can I get by without a stall converter?

 

Yeah... that is a monster cam for an otherwise stock motor in a pickup truck, the motor would run but it won't make useable power.

 

That cam is way too big. Unless you have aftermarket heads and bumped up compression, you are wasting time putting that cam in. Doing a MAF swap will make it run ok, but it will have a rough idle no matter how you tune it.

Every converter has a stall speed. 3000 stall converters are for racing applications. This won't be a good match for anything but a drag truck. If you could get the power that cam is designed for, you would shell out a stock C-6 converter pretty quick.
