I am rebuilding the 360 engine in my Ram. The truck has the auto tranny with 3.55 gears and stock stall. I am trying to decide which cam to get for the truck and am thinking about either the KRC210x or the 206x. I have purchased a set of EngineQuest heads with the 2.02 valves already.

If I go with the 210x what other mods will I have to do to get this cam to work? What will it do to my bottom end power? Is this too much of a cam for a heavy 4x4 quad cab? Would I be better off with the 206x? Will the 210x work with superchips? I am not planning on racing the truck, I just want a little lope!!!

Any other suggestions?

 

The 210X cam needs a real tune to run right. B&G flash, Mopar Performance PCM or SCT Tuner minimum.

When I installed the the Harland Sharp 1.7 RR, I noticed a lope. The KRC 206X has double the lift and more duration than my stock cam. You'll have your lope.

Comp cams, which grinds KRC's cams for them, makes a "Thumpr Cam" that lopes like a BIG cam, but when you step on it is more tame. I've heard there were tuning issues with these, so I'd definitely call Marty at KRC and ask about them before you buy, but he may be able to get one for you if he recommends it.

 

Thanks! Good advise!!

 

does the 210x have a bigger lift and duration than the 206?

 

This is the specs for the 206x: 206/212-480/512 110

and this is the 210x: 210/220-512/512 110

 

I'd go with our 206X in your truck. Makes a nice, torquey 4x4 cam. The EQ heads are a good choice. And an SCT to tie it all together.
