So I was thinking about getting new cams in the truck. Those compucam ones from KRC performance...for the 4.7L, If I remember it said it was like a gain of 36hp and 66 ft/lb of torque...anyone know how noticable the gains are, or if they're worth it? I know the install is gonna be a killer.Maybe SuperDak can help? [:-]....

 

they are well worth the money, but i noticed on the krc site that the cams went up another 100.00. go for the new 212x cams. they did not have these out when i had mine installed. also i had a garage do mine. about 5.5 hours for the job. it is well worth spending the 400.00 to get it done.and then top it off with an aftermarket throttle body fro the fastman and you are good to go.

 

True or false...cams are available for the 3.7? They have a non-specific "V6" cam section, but they don't say whether it's the 3.9 or 3.7

 

you have to go to the crane cam web site and look up that info. i do think there is a difference between the two motors .

 

SuperDak,
I see that the 212 cams require the flash, converter, tb, headers etc. What about the 212x? What sort of power would i be lookin at with those and a tb (already have FIPK, Flowmaster force 2, quad cab 4x4)? Would it be worth the money spent? Finally, I would expected to get better mileage as long as i keep my foot out of it right?

 

without the flash you wont get the full effect of the cams in the higher rpm ranges. forget the conveter a waste of money, the manifolds flow just as good as the headers but you will need to get a larger diameter y-pipe or go true duals with an x-pipe. frenchy has this set up. might be worth upgrading the injectors though. stock is 19lbs may need to go up a notch. as for milage. it may stay the same but not go up. depending on your driving habits. if you are going to be a weekend warrior at the track good idea. like me, i take the average joe shmo hemi and put a hurtin on them light to light, but they get me in the long run. as for power you will gain quite a bit 45-50 horses. compared to the r/t cams which dont do much 15-20 at the wheels. my truck bone stock was at 174 and the r/t was at 190. now i am at 250. and i just purchased a zex wet nitrous kit for the truck. should have it all hooked up and dynoed by this sat.

So if I just want to get a TB, my best bet is to skip the HO cams and get the 206 cams? I talked with AirRam and he said with my setup that I should NOT get the 206 cams and get the HO cams...what say you?

 

Wait...whats a flash?? im hella confused..is it like a PCM?....ok than other than that i guess its the 212x cams with a Fastman TB combo...ill most likely have more questions but I have to go to church now

 

if you are gonna keep the truck stock and not switch out the gears and do other mods to improve performance then the h/o cams will do fine. but if plan on going big then spend the money and get the larger cams. i still run the factory exhaust manifolds but up graded to a larger y-pipe cheaper than the headers and flow just the same if not better now.

 

Check with the fastman on his website. He has them cheaper than KRCPerformance and he can do the flash for it too.... according to him.
