how about that cam?
Anyone hear any good stories, or bad, about the 3 different cams that comp cams offers for the HEMI? Also, do you know of any other kind of cam to swap in for some more power without having to change all the computers?

RE: how about that cam?
If I were to go with a cam I would go with a 6.1 liter cam. I know that some of the comp cams require further tuning but the 6.1 does not. It doesn't add as much HP but there is no head ache involved and the 6.1 cam gives 25-35 rwhp so thats enough for me with no hassle.

If you went with the 6.1 cam you would have to change your lifters as well as disable the MDS on the 06 and newer 5.7's, any new cams must state that they are compatable with MDS 5.7's. I just installed a HHP/BES stage 1 260 cam in my truck that was specificly designed for the 5.7 MDS and the power gain is unbelievable.
