Torque cams...
Gentlemen, I did a search and came up short so I thought I would field my question here. I just purchased a 95' F150 with the 300 for my tow vehicle. So far the truck is great and it's low end power is surprisingly stout for a six. I have two question, one a problem, the other a search for advise:
1. The problem: Sometimes the truck will lose all power and buck while under throttle and while maintaining throttle. My first thought is spark plugs and wires (as I don't know when they were changed), but the problem will come and go at will without any prerequisite conditions. Is this a somewhat common problem with an easy fix or am I overanalysing a simple ignition problem?
2. I'm using the truck for a tow vehicle. It needs to tow a 1500lbs trailer and my 3000 lb car. I do realise that this is probably beyond the truck's "recomended" towing limit which is why I am looking to install a cam in it. So I'm looking for recommendations for a torquey cam. I would assume I'm looking for something with a little more lift and not too much duration...
The truck is great. It's fully loaded and is pretty close to showroom condition. I almost feel bad using it as a winter vehicle!

I don't know what you have done to your motor but I have a 92 300and have done a K&N , Gibson CAT back exhaust , High end cap rotorand wires with Splitfire plugs. Just by letting it breathe i was pulling a 4 horse slant load trailer with it stuffed full of 80# bales at 60-65 on rolling ground. Oh yeah 5 speed.
