Which camshaft for a little more power?

1989 4 cylinder. Which camshaft for a little more power, but one where no modifications (timing, etc.) are necessary. Just use the truck for cruisin' around.

Actually, don't really need the power, but would like to see if the truck would pull a small fold down camper. Thanks.

if it's mainly cruising, try the engnbldr 270, but the 268 might be better if you want to do a bit of towing.

remember, it's a good idea to do the head gasket at the same time as the cam, as you have to remove the head bolts to pull off the rocker assembly, which takes the pressure off the gasket.

Thanks a lot..........that's great info!! Would like to try and do a little towing with it (1000lb. fold down camper).
