what would be a good cam choice for my 400 right now its a stock motor with a wein stealth intake and 750 cfm carb with a turbo 400 tranny. im wanting to make the truck into somthing i can enter mud runs and pulls with (street stock) but i dont want anything to extreme cause i still want to be able to have it as a daily driver if i need to.

it would help a great deal to know your tire diam.if your using headers, the trucks weight, and rear gear ratio,yes the rest of the info can be guessed at if its stock, with reasonable accuracy but those factors being known help.
I can tell you Ive used this cam in many similar builds where guys want a good boost over the stock cam but still demand all the stock accessories work with excellent results.
if the engines nearly stock its a great choice,in many applications as a replacement for the stock cam, as its easily 30 plus hp more than the stock cam yet functions with the stock springs, converter, brakes etc.and the stealth intake and carb only help here
why not call crane and see what they say?

Id select that cam posted above. your a good match, you might want to invest in 1.5:1 roller rockers if the budget allows, as they add a bit of lift resulting in a bit more air flow and reduce friction losses
