Non-balance shaft. The bigger question is if changing cams...why? and what kind of cam specs are you thinking of using? Not to be hard on a newbe, but if you don't know the difference between a balanced shaft 4.3 and a nonbalanced shaft 4.3 you probably shouldn't be picking cams for a turbo motor.

Re: Cam choice question?

I would agree with John I think you need to do a little more research before you start picking cams

Re: Cam choice question?

A correct turbo cam is much different than a NA cam. There has been 15+ years of experience with these trucks on the board, do a search for a proper cam for your build. You will not improve on what has already been done on low to mid level builds as you will find on the board. Just giving you some advice so you don't have to do it again. I bought my first Ty in 1993 and have been through about every build out there for these trucks.
