Hello fellow y blockers.  After lurking through some of the posts I finally decided to join the forum.

I have a few cam questions for an upcoming build that I'd like to have some help on gathering alternate resorces, & feedback on some of your previous experiences.

First, here is what I have:

 63 F100 Stake bed that has a 292 mated to a cruise O that I rebult around 12 years ago. The goods inside her are:  .060 with standard rebuild pistons, etc.  Isky e-4, cite heads homebrew port & pollish, with 1.78 intakes, 9425 intake, home made 4 into one mid length headers, 65 reman Autolite 4100 1.08 with a (my specialty) ported secondary venturi & throttle shafts slimmed. 

I last year added 1.6:1 rocker assemblies from Rocker arm specialists that are fabulous!  It actually sounds more like it has an aftermarket cam now, not to mention the nice torque gain with my .438 total valve lift with the E-4 isky & lash being considered.

I should probably leave it alone, but as many of you probably feel, why the heck not define it to what you really want? Right?

I should also mention that after the dana 44 recently had bearing issues I accidentally found a dana 60-2 Smile from a 64 f100.  The difference for those of you who weren't aware of the 60-2 like I previously was is it is a dana 60 that is not a full floater, with 5 on 5 studs & identical brakes to that of a dana 44.  In doing this swap I went from 3.73's that were in the old dana 44, to 4:10 limited slip in my big hunk of indistructible dana 60-2. 

My plans are to do the t-5 swap asap, as freeway driving here in Denver leaves me winding up to around 3800, 4000 to keep with traffic. 

Now for the cam talk:

I have ECZ-G's that I plan on have Mummert do his street port with 1.94, 1.60's.  I am also considering biting the bullet & re-rebuilding the whole thing & getting the dome pistons he has to up the compression to allow me to use a more aggressive cam.  I want to go fast & want it to sound mean @ the cruise nights!

I have considered all of the other Isky offerings, but am indiferent to the low lift figures.  I Like the lift figures of some of the Erson offerings, but have one grind in particular that I want to have custom ground by them.  It is their TQ 30.

The specs are: TQ 30: Advertised, or lash Duration 280, Duration @ .050 230, lobe Lift .310, Theoretic valve lift with 1.60:1 rockers .496, valve lift considering lash .476.

When I talked with Erson, the guy was unfamiliar with y blocks. (suprise surprise)  He did however say for that kind of duration in a 5k or so truck that I should have a min. of 10:1 compression to get the cylinder pressures up to make it work.  He said if I sent him flow figures for the heads, including static compression estimates that he could further help to see if this grind would work. 

 Has anyone ever tried a cam like this?  What combo of components worked or didn't?  Has anyone ever tried a 230° Duration cam@ .050 in a truck?  

Any help would be appreciated.  Sorry for the long post..
