hey guys new to the fourum was wondering if I could get some help for my 408 stroker build in my 1988 dodge w100. I have all the parts but I’m stuck on what cam I should run. To start the truck is a 1988 dodge w100, 360, NP435/np241 Chrysler 9.25 with 3.21 gears. The truck weighs about 4900 pounds with its 33” tires. A little info on the 408. It’s a blueprint engines 408 short block, running the stock 1.88 intake valve iron heads. Should be around 9.8:1 compression, edlebrock air gap intake, 650 edbrock carb, long tube headers and a 2.5” exhaust with 18” glass packs. The truck is manly street driven, not looking for peak numbers with this build, just a good strong motor that has decent street manners but will scoot the truck along when you decided to open it up. called comp cams and they recommended me there 262 series cam .462 int 470 exh/ 262 int duration 270 exhaust. It sounds about right with the gearing and weight of the truck just figured I ask around before I made the decision! Thanks!
