I sold the truck to a friend six months ago and got a 97 Powerstroke. I like that I can drive 600 miles at a stretch before needing fuel. I do miss the ride of the 150 though!

Gey89f250, I put this cam in with the crane reccomended lifters keeping the stock carb. I put a new head on and the engine just happened to have been bored .40 over. I dont think that had much affect, however, I am very pleased with the results. I pull a fairley large boat and it tools down the highway with no problem. The timing is set at 12* and it runs great. The power band is best around 50-65 MPH, when I get on it it responds right away, surprises most people. I have a c6 transmission so its not the speed demon, but it will pull anything at highway speed with no problems. I would highly recomend this cam, its not too expensive and the stock springs on the valves should be able to handle the additional lift. Remember this cam profile will almost double your lift and duration so if the head is real old I would consider getting the springs checked and or replaced. Didnt do anything with the exhaust yet. This particular cam will be able to handle many more upgrades with out havign to be replaced. And do use the reccomended Rottella t oil, great old school product

Sound good stuff for that engine. If you don't pull but most snowplow would it need that cam?
I know read thread say when need cam but want know it worth have you try on DYNO to see how much horsepower it boost.
Is castroal GTX 10W30 superior antisludge best oil for that engine? I just want good oil for my engine it have 120,000 miles now.
