That cam is roughly equivalent to the stock '94 cam with 1.7 rockers so it's not that big really. What motor is it going in?

about how much torque were you thinking, if your thinking you want a low down diesel rpm powerband its really not the 302's nature

Then don't bother, add 1.7 rockers and longtube headers with a single 2.5" exhaust system for maximum gains, and seriously consider a gear change to 4.10s.

Ok cool thanks guys. Any recommendations on a brand of rockers? I know the 5.0 is no torque beast, I just wanna get a little more oomph. I plan on getting 4.10 gears for sure. Would be super cool to get a posi trac or something too.

Good reports about Scorpion brand and you can't go wrong with Crane or Comp Cams either. Just in case you don't know these trucks use pedestal mount rockers so don't look at anything that requires studs.
