How's your milage?? In going to put a cam in this week. I'm seriously thinking about the 62000 series from lunati or crower. Truck make good power? What octane fuel are you using?

MPG is like 10 ish depending on how heavy a foot i have , I run mid grade Gas with no ping . 62000 is to mild a cam if you ask me , basically a stock replacement
The 62001 makes great HP /TQ with a pretty smooth idle .My DD5 Software put my engine at 402hp/533TQ I got the software after I built the engine , If i was to do it again I'd get the 62002 cam as it would give me 451Hp 521TQ per DD5 and more of a choppy idle

I'm probably going to go with this cam crowers customer service is excellent and I think it's a good match. Would you mind throwing this into your DD5 just like it's in your truck so I could see how it compares to your lunati?
