Need some help with high torque 408 build

Hey, that's what the MoPar brotherhood is all about. Helping out. That cam in a mild 360 would be great! But not in the 408. :(

Well, the posts above have let me know that this combo is not all that great. Now that I know that, my plan has shifted and I'm wondering if this combo will work well enough to assemble and run for a while so I can save money for a better top end. Does that make sense?

YES! Absolute! Do what you can when you can as you can. As time and money allows, work your way towards your goal.

Moper is a bright guy as well. He understand things pretty well.
OU812 builds MoPars on a regular.

For a truck, doing some work, I kind of like that cam above in the 226 @ .050 area myself.
