I would contact Comp Cams or another cam manufacturer of your choice for recommendations for your vehicle. They will know the application and can best recommend a cam for your needs.

I installed a Comp Cams 260 AHR camshaft kit in mine. I did the full kit. Better MPG and power. Worked out well with stock injection and PCM. I have the non-balance shaft 4.3 (262 C.I.D.) engine. Contact Sam Culp at comp cams, he's a BIG help.

I purchased the K-kit from comp cams. I think it was around $700 for the kit. I also did it as a part of an engine, transmission, T-case, front and rear diff overhaul. I am seeing about 21 hwy MPG and it has a LOT more power. I did nothing to the exhaust, it's all stock. I was only getting around 17 hwy MPG before the work. I did all the work myself, I am an ASE certified tech. The labor was only blood, sweat, and tears!
