talked to richard a few minutes ago. hes crunching some numbers, and giving me a call back with exact specs. ill update yall in a bit.


ok, just got off the phone with him.... cam specs are as followed. .206, .212 @ .050, .488 .512, 110 lsa. he recommends using the airgap, over the m1. but guess whos not going to listen to that one... ME! also, he said that the stock length pushrods couldn be used with non adjustables, and that id have to check length.

so all you aftermarket cam users.... did you use stock length pushrods with either the stock rockers, or 1.6 non adjustables?

 

Did he provide any explanation why he recommends the Air Gap over M1?

 

he said it was because it was a dual plane, which is better for low end.... complete opposite from everything ive heard. hes a hughes dealer, so of course hes gonna try to sell their product.

im still gonna go with the m1. still trying to figure out the pushrod length issue though.

 

Here's my specs via Summit. Use it for reference as I can't find picture of my actual SPEC Sheet when it arrived.

I only got new Crane Lifters, but should have got new OEM lifters. Everything else is stock drivetrain. Awaiting for later changes....

Lobe Separation (degrees): 114

That looks a lot friendlier for a street cam... although, advertised power range starts at 1500..... hhmmm......

 

good to know, i can just buy stock replacements! he says the cam will be a great low end torque cam. we shall see.

i completely agree... richard seems to know what hes talking about. i told him i needed power and torque down low for plowing and towing. so thats what he came up with. new heads with heaviers springs, new pushrods, and lifters. going with an m1 with a 50mm tb. decided against the 52mm tb. of course im going to sean for the tune.

 

I thought i did my truck info but i guess not haha. When i was going to do my manifold i was gonna do my plugs, cap, and wires. Then throw on my cold air and spacer. Then maybe a tuner and then save up for a cam. Anything i shoul do before the cam or what haha

 

Yeah use the tb spacer as a paper weight. Thats all its good for.

 

@ redneck Richard is blowing smoke up you butt, I would not run that cam for what you do. Next you will need hardened push rods of stock length. Me I would suggest to you that you use the same cam as WN it's a great cam and fits your needs to a tee, and would save you money on not needing other parts. Mopar performance roller lifter's can be bought for $115 and work just fine. With that cam that WN is using you can even add 1.7 later on and not need anymore parts as it keeps thing under the springs specs. My web is super ify with all this snow we got last night but I will try to respond better later today, I wrote this three times lol.

 

Oh NO! The TB spacer again..... Help Me!
