I have been thinking of swapping cams in the ford when I overhaul it.
My idea is to keep as much mileage as I can but get some more low end grunt and a few more ponies. I have been looking at a couple of cams, but if you have ANY input please feel free to throw it in.

The first is a COMP 252.
The second is a COMP 260.

This truck hardly ever sees more than 3,000 rpm. It gets loaded heavy and can weigh 14,000 lbs without a trailer. It would be nice to have a little more pulling power when taking off uphill, which seems to happen more often than not. 1-3rd are ok, but 4th is sluggy.
