CH> Experimenting with cams is fairly hard core.  To be honest, I'd go to
 
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.
 
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. 

 CH> So, what's next on the list?  I know you like Q-Jets, but the GM TBI
 CH> is pretty good.  Simple, for a FI system and quite tuneable.  I'm

 CH> frigid mornings.

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? =-)

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...  
Currently we're about 10 below freezing, with night time temps dipping further,
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.

Alex.
