Topic: Has anyone changed to a different camshaft?

[andpgud]

Hi guys. Studying the thing of getting more power. I found a guy who has been tuning the 4 banger and he tells me that if I want the car to be fast I should start with putting on a bigger TB and the camshaft. He had some custom made and that the 4 banger get around 15 ho from just the cam. Thinking about getting one.

I run a Mopar Performance cam and it required the use of performance valve springs due to the added valve lift, magnum v8 valve springs work great.

And what did you acchieve by the new cam?

wish I could find a performance cam I missed out on a few of them now!

I have the Hesco RVOB cam in my 94. It woke things up well.

I also run a Mopar camshaft (I think it is the same one Bounty is running).  Gives it a but more ooomph, but mainly in the 2,500+ RPM range...  Low end torque is about the same I would say.

I can get one for 140$ and the only thinkg I have to do is to time the engine differenlty. Should hive me 15 hp. IS that possible?

Just be careful WHERE it adds the 15HP...  If it is at 5,000 RPM's, it will do you no good, and you will most likely sacrifice low end torque for it...

JUst found the ad, was wondering if this was what he was talking about or if anybody else had used it.

I noted they have part numbers for springs & retainers with optional valves!

He sais that it will improve torque from 2k to 4k.
Should I maybe just save the money for a 4 liter swap?

Found another Cam but zip for Specs.

Sealed Power CS 779 its for the  jeep 2.5 but what would we gain by using it.
