You need two and make sure they have lots of lobes on them. the lobes make all the difference in the world.

If you try search you might get more ideas.

What I'd recommend is pulling your stock cams and grinding them down. The closer they get to perfect circles, the better.

Real men make cams out of crushed up beer cans pieced together with duct tape.

I did this, it was a $6 mod because that's how much my 6 pack cost.

Alternatively you can use the search button

Don't listen to these guys, I took my engine apart for you and found four of them. Just make sure you have 2 on each side and that they are smooth or you can grind them down, and you'll be set.

Only Miller lite cans work though.

Well, I'm guessing you're new and that French is your first language.

If you have the 300HP motor, cams aren't available yet (at least on the exhaust side).

If you have the 287hp motor, there are plenty of options that seem good. (JWT as mentioned above, for example.)

Is it true that if you are running test pipes and intake you dont need cam?


Has anyone tried 93 octane cam?
