Re: What Cam? Help

Hey, new here,( but not new anywhere else). If you have a stock engine and cam it for sounding good - you will not be happy with the way it drives under 3,000 rpm.

The last cam I bought for a truck was a Comp 260HE , and it drove great - but already had 3.73 gears along with other upgrades.
Hope to be buying one or two more cams soon and they will not be "stock" engines. At least one of them will be cammed so mild that it may sound stock. I do have an Comp 262XE on the shelf that may or may not get used.

It will be easier to make power than it will be to make it sound good and run good in a stock setup.
I wouldn't call the large cam companies their opinions vary widely. Are you going to change the stock valve springs or leave them ?




One man's street cam is another's race cam and another's stockish cam.
