That's a lot of cam for 9:1. Is that a Howard's grind?
I have essentially the same grind, 231°@050/0.470"/108LSA/104ICL, and had to do a world of changes to make it work: 10.9:1 compression, Full re-jet of Rochester, aggressive ignition re-curve, different valve springs, high-stall torque converter, deeper rear gears. It sounds awesome, but it's maybe not a truck cam.
Either of the two that were posted would be a LOT better, especially with the 3.08 gears and a stock converter.
