Hey, have any of you guys had any experience with the KRC 218 cam for the Hemi? the website says I need gears to keep the EGT's down, I was planning on putting in 4.56's in a week or two and a set pacesetter long tubes. Sound like a good combo? Also, don't know how many of you are from Colorado, but do any of you know of any good shops in the denver area to do the cam install and/or do the tuning required? Thanks guys.

 

I almost forgot, for you guys runnin 4.56's, what brands would you recommend? I've never put in gears so I'm gonna have it done somewhere, what kinda cost should i expect for install? how bout for the cam and tuning? thanks guys

 

I sent DodgeNitto to 4 Wheel Parts in Denver for his gears, they will come at you with a high price, but they will come down if you do your homework and haggle, they price match.
They did a great job for him.

If you are a QC 4x4, I'd recommend the KRC210, lower over-all HP, but much better low end torque. For a RC or 2WD the 218 is good. You'll need springs, retainers, pushrods and a tune (or at least a piggyback) to tame it. It is a fantastic cam, it is NOT however, a plug and play cam...

 

hey man , im from brighton , co north of denver 10 miles........ i just got my gears installed from 4 wheel parts in westminster/denver last week! they did a great job... im almost wondering if they would install your cam too....you might ask...i delt with dustin he was cool......from kremmling eh?? good ole' 4 wheeling areas up there.....

 

I wasn't sure if they'd do the cam install along with the gears. How much did they charge to install your gears? But if I get the cam installed there am I gonna have to tow it somewhere to get it tuned? And im from kremmling. going to school in boulder now but id hardly call that home lol. kremmling has some awesome fourwheeling. gotta love the rocky mountains!

 

So what brand gears would you recommend?

 

im not sure if they do cams thats something youll have to ask them they mights they seem capable of aftermarker installation parts with some of those nice nice diesels they had there.....they quoted me $400 for the rear and if you have a 4x 4 they quoted me $300 for the front....taxes ....new gear oil they even slapped my lsd in while they were in there it was close $800 total for labor 4 x 4 -

 

$800 for labor, for gears?

I'm in the wrong business.

 

It's a little on the high side, but the best rates I've found are still about $300 per axle for labor...

 

Any.

Richmond, Moser, Superior, etc.
