yeah me either. a quick search turns up a few things but nothing too clear. but if anything its real mild. has a nice lope.

and i was also stoked on how cheap gears are! i guess im just used to having to buy gears for a front and rear diff with the truck. lol

Rv cams are just that, for RV's. Low and mid range torque but no top end usually. That would be a def swap out too, especially after the gears.

+1 on the gears & be sure to check the engine timing!

ditch the cam, get some gears

and that intake isnt too bad looks like a professional products piece, do some porting and cleaning up to remove the casting flash and you have a pretty good intake manifold there.

but its useless if you still have stock heads and that crappy cam

what heads and cam do you suggest?

also building on somewhat of a budget here. so i guess best bang for the buck is what i want.

and one more thing, it will need some appearance mods to make it "mine" ya know?
it will be getting new paint. im thinking a pearl white. also the stock headlights have got to go! want a nice modern looking replacement. a lot of the stuff i've checked out on ebay is okay, but i have no clue how good the light output is?

and a nice subtle spoiler wouldnt be bad either..

Not sure if there is a "best" otherwise everyone would have them. There are some good options out there, make it your own.

Find what heads and intake you want to use and then figure out your cam.
