• Rpm range: Idle-3,000
• Drops EGT 200-300
• Better fuel economy: 2-3 MPG
• Increased bottom-end power
• Quicker spool-up
• Duration at .050″ of lift: 178 intake, 208 exhaust

Additional Information:

• Due to its short duration and wide lobe separation angle, it also has the least overlap (when intake and exhaust valves are open at the same time) of any of our cams to kill in-cylinder EGR on engines that have higher drive pressure than boost pressure.
• If you live at high altitudes, are tow heavy, or are looking for the best efficiency possible for highway driving, this cam will help you considerably.

Example:

• On a truck with a 62 mm turbo and 80 hp injectors, this cam picked up 40 hp at 1,700 rpm since it moves so much air at lower rpm and helps the turbo spool much sooner.

Modification Required:

• For it to be “drop in” on a 12v, you will need no more than .025″ piston protrusion and at least .055″ valve face depth with a standard head gasket and a 99 intake centerline. On a 98-02 24v, you will need no more than .025″ piston protrusion and at least .038″ valve face depth with a standard gasket. On an 03 and up, it needs .018″piston protrusion and at least .038″ valve face depth with a standard gasket. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for piston-to-valve clearance, don’t worry, you can still run an oversized head gasket or cut valve reliefs.
• Although this is considered a drop-in cam, it is important to check clearances.
• We always recommend new lifters when changing a cam.

Applications:

• Used in daily drivers
• Towing
• Large or small singles
• Meant for increased all-around efficiency

Break-in:
To ensure you have no issues during break-in, follow these few suggestions:

• Make sure that the cam has a liberal amount of quality assembly lube applied.
• DO NOT let the engine start without oil pressure.
• When used on a new engine, be sure to put a liberal amount of assembly lube in the oil pump and prime the oil filter.
• Be sure to change the oil after you have done your break-in procedure. When the filter and oil system are already primed, the engine will get oil pressure much faster than if the oil is changed at the same time.
• Disconnect the fuel system and spin the engine with the starter until oil pressure can be read or until oil is coming out of the rocker arms.
• Do not let the starter run for more than 10 seconds at a time.
• Once oil pressure has been verified, let the engine start and run for 5 minutes at 1,200-1,500 rpm, then shut the engine down
• Adjust the valves, then you are cleared to abuse your engine. Enjoy the added airflow!
• If you need to re-torque or “hot torque” the head, do so before adjusting the valves. Re-torquing the head changes the valve lash setting, so it is important to set lash last.
