Would this happen to be the M1?

I though that any cam change would most likely involve spring changes to prevent binding. Is there cams that can run with the stock springs and don't cams require a higher octane rating due to the valves being open for a longer duration?

That would be the feller.

Stock springs are only good to .480 lift. Need to pay attention to that. Could you re-post the link to the cam you are considering?

Nice cam. That most certainly will NOT work with stock springs. You will wipe out the valve train the first time you roll the engine over. Need to also purchase the springs they want you to use, as they claim aftermarket springs won't be compatible either, even if they will tolerate the lift. Probably has to do with spring pressures, but, they don't list those specs on the cam page.

Now for springs, does it matter what style they are (i.e. standard, beehive)?

IF you get the hughes cam, get the springs they recommend as well. It states in the description that it won't work with someone elses springs, and will prolly void any warranty as well.

+1 on this....I bought their hughes airgap kit but that will probably be the last thing I buy from them. They just seem to be a little too "proud" of their products for what you're actually getting and the price you have to pay...I'm going with a comp cam from summit when the time comes

Yes, that is the right M1.

That cam requires "recommended" SCT tuner. Catch how they toss that in there?

You're in CA....and you're aware of the previous talks on the emissions impact?

I'm running the Mopar R/T camshaft by Crane for 3 years now. Uses stock drivetrain and stock PCM friendly, but does respond to the slight pep of my Superchips tuner.

I'm happy, more than happy. No issues with install, no pcm issues, no driveability issues, no negatives given how this phat brick moves.

You are a '95 and I'm faint on how programmable your pcm is, which I'm inclined to say it is not.... You would be limited to a PCM swap done by B&G or Mopar Performance if I remember correctly. Someone smarter here should elaborate/correct my info on that.

Exactly Correct. 95 and older are not flash-programmable. The two options you listed there are it.
