Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Piers and were thinking of something a little different for my truck in the Cam department recently, so with them grinding it and me doing the install (my first) the testing has began.
First reports are better spool up for light throttle street driving, more boost at EGT..... (I based this on 900 degrees at acceleration) lower cruise EGT's and less bottom end smoke.
Spool up is just flat brutal to me! WOT runs were scary and with a 3-4 shift at 3800 it never laid over... . eye balls... . sockets... . you get the picture. I ran up to 130+MPH in a blink but don't ask me all the numbers as I was driving with both hands, but 80 psi at 105 degrees intake temp is power in my book... ... ... . I never dreamed that it would ever be this driveable or spool that quick... ... ... . it's fun to chunk it sideways just to test driving skills... ... new tires are in need!
Downside, this was my first cam change and it was a PITA! I had several issues to fix with it, but with a few phone calls, a few afternoons, a few dates, a few busted knuckles, some harsh words at times along with a few thanks and prayers she is back together. The service manual was good to have along with Piers and Brad Ponci to answer the odd ball questions... ... more info to come!
