Figured it out :)

hey guys its me again, i decided to go with a balanced SCAT rotating assembly for 1300$ that brings my 351 up to a 393, i've factored in a lot but i don't know about horse power, like i figure i'm gonna have to beef up my tranny with a shift kit and drivetrain all together, accompanied to traction bars so i won't have to worry about suspension to much. so i need help with this i'm confused on the cam i want to run and the headers (its a split between purple shorties or headman) any suggestions or anything is welcome, thank you all!

If its a update, make a build thread of your truck. Dont waste random posts

The first thing you have to do is work out the major points of the build. What your budget is, what you want to get out of the motor, etc. Then you start figuring out what parts will help you get to your goal. Then you buy and start building.

Seems to me like you're doing it backwards. We can't help you with cam selection until you give us a LOT more detail than you have so far.

Well.. the cam you pick depends upon the intake and head that this 393 will be wearing so....
