[QUOTE="Soul Rebel, post: 2674785, member: 22013"] I think the stock gears are just fine. With the 4.33 your acceleration will go up, but gas mileage and top speed will be way down, not to mention drivability and what not. If you can't afford the Pickrel, the next best bet is to go with the bassani's. Headers will definetely make a difference, even if they are shorties. The hotrod cam has mixed reviews, but it is a good cam if you don't want to convert over to a roller (it's flat tappet) The thing that scared me away are the somewhat plentiful "Hotrod cam gone wrong" posts on the nloc. I'd say save the roller rockers for when and if you get heads, not much of a difference will be felt with them IMHO although I cannot speak from experience. Switching to an MSD ignition will maybe help your gas mileage by 1 or 2 mpg but I don't think on a relatively stock truck you will see much if any performance gain. ZFWIW, instead of going with the Hotrod cam, maybe you should try piecing together a roller conversion kit. Look on ebay...you can find quite a few of the parts over there if you're lucky and have patience. Good Luck-Josh [/QUOTE]
