We like to see a video? We see you have experience with the HS rokers did you like them before the camm install? Knowing what you know now would you have done a cam swap before the HS and would you have done anything diffrent. We know theres more to a cam install but we like little mo-power to putt around town with?

Lots more power with the cam, but yes, the HS rocker arms were a worthwhile investment. It was a nice little bump to the stock cam. if I were going to do a cam, I'd still put roller rockers in with it. As it is, I just reused them.

holy isht,

Just took it for a WOT run earlier today. It pulls really, really hard. I almost crapped myself when it shifted, it got all kinds of sloppy on me.

First gear stayed happily at 12.7-12.9:1 A/F, second gear was a tad rich the whole time at 12.2-12.4. Third gear started at 12.7 and climbed to 13.2 then jumped to about 13.6 and I got scared and pulled out quick. I was going 90 MPH before I knew it. It didn't fall flat on it's face at 75-80 like the stock cam did.

I don't know where it tops out. I'm scared to find out.

damn it Jim.. you're going to cause me to pull heads and replace, and cam along with it this fall..

I was in the market for a 408 for a while, but have pulled the plug on that because of costs, and because my engine is doing great @ 160k miles..

I'm actually happy with what I have going on right now- but a cam and heads can be had for around a cool grand, and it takes nothing but time to install them.. I've never done it by myself before though, and will likely be picking your brain for help when it comes to installing..

c'mon man, levi's dyno- in percentages gained- whatcha think?

LOL, love the star trek reference.

The old KRC website stated the 210x cam was gods for 60hp. I'd guess it's darn close to that.

I'd say the cam, but that might be just due to the ordeal I had to go through just to get out to work.


both were right up there with the SCT tuner.
