A dual plane would be preferable. Did you read post #1 of this thread where I described the 400 we built for my son's 4x4?
I did and thanks for that. I went for that cam based on the article in hot rod mag a few years ago. http://www.hotrod.com/articles/ccrp-...ster-for-2500/

The intake manifold pictured is on that was in on the deal I made for the heads. I do have access to a single plane intake as well.
My plans are to change the carrier to a Eaton truetrac , depending on what we find when we open up the differental.

What if I was to say that I may change the gears to 4.10. Would that change your thought on the cam?

The tires are 15 x 32
