    Cam for 96 5.7

    7395 is a GM TBI truck cam, runs out of steam at about 4000. regardless if its on a 305 or 350 it provides the same dismal power output I personally would run a XM264HR if running a comp cam. max duration you can go with a wet exhaust is 270.

    Best way to gain a little speed with 40hp engine

    other than spending lots of money and burning more fuel. what would you want to accomplish attempting to swap ECU's and parts? your pontoon wont go any faster.
