Well.... got a cam on the way. Got one for half price from a guy on The Corral.
AK already knows some of this via PM, but here's what I've got....
And these are the heads I bought yesterday. They are fresh outta the machine shop. New springs, valve job, valve seals, and machined for the new spring locators. May have posted these specs already, but they are:
Good morning thinkers!- Bucko, welcome to AK’s brain child!- amazing how one question developed into an encyclopedia of 10 gen knowledge-
White, you have quite a project- keep the pics coming! ( i still dont know how you fellers are disciplined enough to stop and take pics- im usually 1/2 way done before i even think about it!)
AK- lil Red is just about ready for you to load up and come down to the lower 48 and visit us!- now that would be a road trip!!
Brew, Ohio, 2100, and the rest of you fellers be safe today, - ill catch up later!
Lol, that was the second occasion the truck sounded like it had a big cam in it. Many moons ago, after and intake gasket job along with a major over haul for the 98, this happened to me. Fired it up and it had that killer Big Cam idle loop going on. Engine cold not so much, but idling at operating temp it was creation perfected. Well, I knew something wasn't right, - but that sound was growing on me. At the time the truck was running stock manifolds, just the two upstream cats and a skinny Magnaflow race series muffler. Went for a drive, didn't get far. It ran okay above idle, but the truck began to stall when I let off the gas. Damn , that was short lived. Got it back to the house, while taking it back apart I found a vacuum plug/cap jammed sideways into the IAC. Then it occurred to me. To envision, the IAC is back against firewall on the 5fours, a little hard to see back there. I'll cap and plug open ports when warranted. While throwing it back together, I removed the plug/cap before connecting the IAC tube, but promptly lost the thing. Thought it fell under truck or perhaps into the block cavity...didn't bother looking for it at the time, wedged into the damn IAC somehow. Anyway yup, a gen 10 misadventure for sure...had it's pleasurable moment, a wee one lol
Probably shouldn't throw this out there, - if someone were to write a small program for the IAC, an isolated black box so to speak. One that slips between the connectors which manipulates plunger control for the big cam affect, - it might gain as much popularity as the throttle body spacers have in the past. Of course you would have to come up with HP number for marketing. Something of this nature would surely denote an imaginary increase. A brainfault idea for someone out there.

LOL....I actually heard that some of those inline chips like the "GF Chip's" did that.... made it "sound" more the idle more lopey by slowing it down. I remember when those were the craze a while back when I was on therangerstation.com all the time. People were getting sucked in by these "60 hp" for 15 bucks things.
Nowadays if you type GF chip in google, and you get gluten free chips, lmao
