I just bought a Tremec 5 speed for the Charger and am planning to pull the motor this winter to do a few things and thought if I might end up changing cams it would be a good time. My question to you stick shifters is in regards to cam selection versus an auto? With the auto (no overdrive) I didn't want allot of stall nor did I want to run a 4:10 or anything like that so my cam selection was on the mild side. With this standard I'll likely be dropping some lower gears in it and thought it might be time to step up the cam. This will be my first V8 performance car with a standard so I'm clueless but I would think the lower gears would like the extra rpms, here's the next step up from what I'm running.

I guess my only concern is the cruising rpms on the freeway will be around 2,000 rpm, will it be lugging? The cam I'm currently running has a range of 1,800-5,800 and purse like a kitten at 2,000 rpm. I could always just leave well enough alone but I really like the idea of a little extra kick in the a$$ plus I feel like this motor has allot more to offer (456"). Another option I'm thinking about is using the Roads lifters with the bigger cam to keep it happy in the lower rpms. Just thinking out loud?
