Crate engine w/an Edelbrock 1405 and an Eldebrock EPS manifold.
More to come this spring: 72cc iron heads, ported, headers,dual exhaust and an Eaton truetrac. Have fun !!!

Here's another thought:The Lunati cam you mentioned is rated best torque from 1,000 to 5,500 RPM. There is one below that (LUN 101207OO LK) which is rates Idle to 5,000. My truck has 4.10 rear end and @5K it would be doing 115 MPH. If I did it again I probably would have gotten the Idle to 5,000 cam as I doubt I will ever see much over 85 MPH. By the way it jumps right up to 85 w/plenty left. But like I mentioned I did put in the 10120701 and it works fine.
