That cam is just a stock 6.1 cam. It's the turd of all cams. It's almost like mopar had a contest to see who could design the most ineffective cam. And the price... I should punch them right in the mouth for that.

No frog. You cant punch them in the mouth. You have to beat them with thier own cam. ;-)

I love you people so much.

The Spartan cams caught my eye for sure, but I'll do a little more comparison before I make my choice.

I'm just sad mopar let me down =(

I agree with Weed, For $800 and with those specs, If you buy that cam for $800 you deserve to be beatin with it. Although I have to say, the roller lifters are a very nice touch. With some lifters, some stronger springs, titanium keepers and a very nicely custom ground cam you could have some crazy power, lol, and all for less than $800.

Of course, you could also get yourself some sodium filled titanium valves. While your at it, could get yourself ported and polished heads, intake, TB. But then again, Maybe i am getting a little carried away so ill stop...

Those weren't fancy lifters and they won't make any extra power in the hemi. They were just stock 5.7 lifters to replace the mds lifters. All they do is negate the mds lifter clatter that comes with bigger cams. That whole set is garbage. It was a stock 6.1 cam which can be had all day long for $75 and a nearly worthless set of stock lifters.
