Oops, I didn't read the "without head work" part. My heads are massaged, pocket and ports.

Found it. Crane Cam:

It's actually .548I/.580E, advertised 278I/290E duration. 114deg. lobe separation. Says "Good idle, daily performance usage, mild bracket racing, 3000-3400 cruise RPM, 9.5-10.75 compression ratio advised. Basic RPM 2200-5200."

My truck weighed in with me at just over 3900lbs.

I was always wondering what difference it makes having uneven valve lifts on intake and exhaust? Must be for limited intake, and clean exhaust flow applications I guess. I should really get matching lifts.

Anybody know how much lift you can go on stock valve springs with 10.5:1 compression?
