Setting up a 390 for towing

I think the 901 is the way to go for towing. With the steep gears you have the 941 would probably work well too but gas mileage will be a tad worse. I could see a 50HP gain from the stock cam with the 941 but that's kind of a stetch. The newer grinds are much improved over the old.

They are the same cam. The 343904 is a kit of some type with the 343901 cam included.
