Heads and Cam have arrived!

[Breecher_7]

Just thought id throw it out there. My new heads and cam have arrived today for my truck. Still waiting for my new intake!!!!!!!

[sloLs1]

for the '05 dodge in your sig??? or do you have a different truck???

[Prince Valiant]

yeah...curious to know what's up? This for the Hemi? Who's cam did you get? What intake are you going with?

Good luck...

[bobo]

Good to hear.

Hemi's taste like chicken.

Hemi's taste like chicken.Hey bobo...how's that truck of yours running again?


:goof

Yes this is for the Hemi ram. The heads are 6.1L ported and polished heads with manley severe duty pro flow valves (2.02"/1.57"), Manley valve springs with titanium retainers. The cam is a production 6.1L Hemi cam from the SRT8 Vehicles. I also have the SRT8 intake on order.....only god knows when it will be here. This combo on the 5.7 has seen around 435-440hp. Best of all, sounds totally stock! Debating on weather or not i will actually put aftermarket exhaust on it or not.....

435-440hp thats some good numbers.. i say spray it with a 100more.

why go with a stock cam?

[Breecher_7]

There are not that many options out there, plus I want to keep the low end power. Comp makes a couple cams for it that im aware of but everything ive seen boosted power in the upper RPM and killed the bottom end. I dont want to loose anything, just gain nice numbers all around.... This is my daily driver, just wanted more pep but reliably

[GTSLOW]

Supercharge it now! :rock:

what do you think it'll run in the quarter now? I'd guess somewhere about the mid to high 14's but thats just a guess

The smallest (260) cam showed no losses in low-rpm, and extended the rpm range...

I'd probably lean toward the 268 comp cam...gives the best of all world and is a fairly "supercharger friendly" cam should you want to go that route in the future.

And then, of course, killing low-end torque isn't too much of a problem anyways...because as with any smart cam decisicion, one should also make a good torque converter decision....and going with a higher stall like 2200-2500 with that cam and those heads would really wake that truck. Combine that with 4.56 gears and that'd be a killer NA truck.

As far as the quarter goes, i wouldnt know.... I dont race it.... Id imagine it would go pretty good.

Probably gonna do the swap this upcoming weekend.....
