update!!

I decided to organize all my notes and summarize my observations in the table below. I would say at 5,000 feet elevation and 75 mph speed limits the cam has confidently gained a solid 1. 5 mpg. I would think if you were at lower elevations and areas with slower speed limits that the gain would be better.



For EGT testing, I have a route on the way home from work. There's an on-ramp from SR306 onto I80 eastbound that you have to make an uphill 110-degree right turn and then it's a 6% uphill climb for 0. 5 miles (measured by trip meter) until I get to the first 75 mph speed limit sign. When I make the turn I am always in 3rd gear, then upshift close to redline on each shift, and then I measure the "max EGT" at the speed limit sign and note my speed. With the cam I could make the turn in 4th gear too, but then it's just hot and smokey at the same resultant speed. Without the cam, 4th gear turns would be lugging the engine. When I get to the sign I let off on the peddle and settle back into cruise control at 75-78 mph.



>When I was stock, I would be at the sign at ~75-80 mph.

>Before the cam and with stacked boxes, I would be at the sign at ~85 mph and the EGT would be ~1500* and I would let off the throttle momentarily to let the EGT fall. If I didn't let off the throttle I would be probably close to 90 mph, but with a pegged EGT gauge.

>With the cam, injectors, and DD pressure box, I would be at the sign breaking 90 mph with the EGT just barely hitting 1400* and then the EGT would fall and stabilize at ~1150*

>I would never tow with the box turned up unless I had twins or a big single. For towing with my current HTB2 62/14 I think I would leave the box on boost fooling only and run with just the injector/cam combo (375 HP/714 TQ). That's more than enough power to tow at reasonable speeds!



My next update will be after this Friday. I made an appointment at Meridian Motorsports and I will dyno my Edge Juice/Attitude on (hopefully) all settings. The reason I say "hopefully" is because the Juice/Attitude on 60 HP with injectors fuels almost as hard as when I had a TST on with a smaller turbo . Also, I should have a few tanks for some mileage info for cam+timing/duration box. Stay tuned!

Thanks for the update, as far as I know the PDR cam is still not available.

Since this thread started I now have an 05 and I see the Cummins part number for the 05 cam is the same as my old 03 CA SO which means the PDR should work in the 05 also.



Dunno yet if I want to mod the 05 motor... its so super quiet I hate to spoil a feature I like so much.

I wonder if I could get away with a cam, edge juice, turbo and no other mods to keep things quiet. . ??

Hey I heard no NV5600 trany,s were available for 05 4X4 CTD. What gives? I do read the equipment posted.

They didn't start putting G56 transmissions in until April-May 05. Mine was built in May 05.

 

[AKaiser]

I'm betting they are the same - About $450 for the cam, $450 to install



if I had to guess

Much cheaper than 3. 42 gears for a 4x4.

 

[BHaden]

does anyone make an adjustable cam gear that could be used to dial in the stock cam?

Oo. bumpOo.
