So, does a cam swap absolutly destroy the warrenty? I want to do this anyways, but need to look at all of the angles.

the 6.1 cam will void it as to my understanding but the great thing about it is that the idle lop is so simliar to stock that its really hard to detect

For all you unfortunate souls with MDS motors, this cam swap is not for you unless you disable the MDS, There are companys that make MDS compatable cams although I am not sure which companys .

What is the reason you can't do the swap with an MDS engine?


Could you not swap out the hydraulic valve lifter cage assemblies with the non-MDS ones to disable it?

They build the MDS and normal HEMI on the same line they just add the MDS parts to the same engine. I wonder if it would work.

Default RE: 6.1 Cam swap

hey guys, just wondering where you guys bought just the exhaust springs? all i can find is a package deal for intake and exhaust thats over $200 and i'd like to keep my cost to a minimum. I'm dropping in an auburn 4.10 as we speak so i'd like to get a little more power to the rears. Also for anyone thats done the cam swap, have you done anything as far as reprogramming your ecu (chip, flash & reprogram, etc.). thanks guys
