Hey fellas, I want my engine to lope a little. I once saw a transam that sounded like a drag car do i need a certain cam or what? Let me know if anyone knows or has this.

 

it's all about the cam.

 

Just unhook one of the spark plug wires. LOL. Just kidding. It is all in the CAM.

 

I don't know if the CompCams new cam series for the Ram will give a lopey sound or not, but they do increase HP. Check them out.

 

Whether or not the grinds compcam sells to make it 'lope', send them an email asking them, tell them what year truck/engine you have, and what you're looking for, they're a pretty knowledgeable group of people.

 

Thanks guys thats a good one about the spark plug wire. I guess i could always drain the water and blow the head gasket also while im at it.

 

You haven't done that yet? What are you waiting for?! [8D]

I've noticed most of the grinds for the newer vehicles, any make, aren't that rowdy at idle nowadays. Technology along w/ R&D has come quite a ways.

If you want rowdy, go for the one w/ the greater duration.

 

I was told once by an older buddy, i had a "do mama, do papa" cam. As in it lopes a helluva lot. Its a comp cams xe grind, 230/236 with mid .560 lifts. I know comp has to make a cam for the Hemi, but when your choosing the grind, make sure to go even bigger than your choice. I HATE that when i had bought my cam, people were telling me it was too big, and now, I feel like I could've gone even bigger with teh same street-ability. And COMP is definitally the way to go.


remember, GO BIGGER if you arent too **** about gas mileage, but it shouldnt get any worse than my 4.7 getting 11 mpg
