302 EFI roller cam

Go with the XE 258 HR, it's the best torque cam on the market. The Crane Powermax is their best attempt, but it falls short at every interval. I've tested almost all the popular SB Ford cams in the catalogues with computer software (Dyno 2000), and nothing makes as much torque as that one. The closest you'll get to that one is the XE 266HR, which is another Xtreme profile, which happens to be the HP king of the bunch. It's probably a little radical to use in a daily-driven truck though. When deciding on a cam, always err on the side of moderation, in other words, choose the one with the shorter (intake) duration, you'll be glad every time you stop for gas, or when you're still cruising INSTEAD of sitting at the gas station. For further reinforcement of this principle, I invite you to read the thread, "it's got a cam, dude!", posted by user Ratsmoker in the General conversation forum, or click here:

it's the reality check that most supercool tuff guy street racers don't pay attention to. -TK
