Hey Patrick,

Thanks for the response...now I'm pretty much a novice at this stuff, what
is lope? Is it beneficial?

Knowing the HP/torque curves for the Magnum engines, is it best to have a
cam that will give you more low-end grunt or one that will help out at the
upper-RPM range? Regardless, I have a feeling my 44RE tranny is really
eating up a lot of my power, the thing just shifts like garbage.
