-> CH> Experimenting with cams is fairly hard core.

->Experimenting in my case means taking it out to a stretch of empty road and
->flogging it to see just what it will do. With winter here, and not wanting
->to burn the crap out of my snow tires I don't know if my perception that the
->truck is slower is just me, or the cam.  SOTP comparison tells me I am a lot
->slower now.

Hmm.  Did you notice if the power band moved up or down?  I wonder if it's
too much cam for the carb/ports/compression?

->You wouldn't have access to an older Wolverine-Blueracer catalog would you?
->If you do, could you take a look and see if theres any cam part number that
->resembles 1137 AI?  Thats my original cam, and if I can ID it, I'll at least
->have something to compare to.

I spent some time with Google, and only found a Tech Line number for
Wolverine:  517-523-3611  8a-5p Eastern time.  A lot of references to the
brand, but no web site with specs found.  J.C.Whitney lists the cams,
but with their own part number.  Useless.

-> CH> So, what's next on the list?  I know you like Q-Jets, but the GM TBI
-> CH> is pretty good.

->Funny you should mentioned the tbi system, I've had that bug put in my ear
->very recently. It certainly looks like a very doable, easy swap to perform.
->And having been spoilt by the GM, fuel injection is a more realistic option
->for me to consider.  Know of any 454 tbi units? with sensors and harness? =-

I'm looking for a 454 throttle body myself.  Been slowly collecting parts
for a 366 BBC I found.  Got pistons, bearings, gasket set and a bunch
more stuff.  Even scored a TBI intake for a tall deck, which the 366 is.
Need the throttle body next.  eBay has them, but they end up going for
$150US or so.  Not worth it for a used (misused?) piece.

->Hows the weather been where you are?  How much snow have you gotten? News
->reports make it seem like the end of the world came and went, but since news
->tends to type everything up somewhat...

We had a storm last week that left a foot of snow.  No problems.  Roads
cleared, no panic in the streets.

->Currently we're about 10 below freezing, with night time temps dipping furth
->no snow within the past week, but did get around 8" last weekend.
Supposedly
->we'll be hoving around the freezing point in the coming week.

Our high has been at or below freezing for much of the past month.  Low is
quite a bit below freezing.  All in all, a normal winter - for about 30
years ago.  The past couple of decades has been mild and dry.  Many ski
resorts have had a bad time of it until this year.
