Ideas on cams??
well guys my ram has started clicking/ticking. weve decided that ive got a couple bad lifters. and seems as ill have to take the top end off. i thought why not go one step more and put a cam in it. i was wondering if any one has done this and what a safe size to put in will be. i guess what is the computer able to compinsat for? i was thinking a 20-745-9 comp cam 264/270 duration with.480/.480 lift?? any ideas or help would be great.

I would go with one of the Mopar Performance Purple Shaft cam and lifter sets. I put one in my truck and really like the perfomance gain I got from it, plus the way it runs sound good to. Adv. Duration is 272/278, lift .467/.482, it is rated at +10 hp over R/T. I would change the rockers and push rods also when you do this.

My engine was stock when I put the cam in, but when I put the cam in I also put an single plane intake from mopar performance, and a set of shorty headers. Here is the cam part number I put in my truck #P5007551, that number may be different now but about a year ago or so it was right. As far as gears I am running a 4.10 and when I had 33's on my truck I thought I had plenty of power on the low end.
