You will want to use part# 822-12 lifters with this camshaft and also use part# 926-12 valve springs which will require some machine work to the head to fit.

I left a message on their forum to see what they say about a cam or kit for the 2.5.

[grumpygy]

I also subbmitted a request for cam recommendation thru their web site.

[sharpxmen]

There site listed nothing but for the cost thats what I thought it was stock.  I was hoping.

yeah, it took me a while to find it, there's a product catalog pdf that lists the specs for their cam. I did get itchy too when i saw it but nothing there.

[andpgud]

is 140$ a good price for a camshaft that give me more power on the 2k-4k or should I just save the money and spend it on a 4 liter swap?

[Torch_Ind]

sharp how much improvement on the Hesco inc. link he posted

Advertised duration: 264        214@ .050

Lobe centers: 110 degrees

Lift: 470

@ 289$

would it be worth the cash plus add the valves and springs

[andpgud]

Are you answering me or someone else?

What lifters and tickers should I get with it?

[Jeffy]

Found some more info, will see if they still sell thses parts.

Funny, that guy posted the same post all over the internet.  If you look on Jeepz, you'll find Bounty as well as jfrabat and Sine Deviance's Avatar commented.  Interesting how it's listed as an AMC 1980-1983 cam which wouldn't be an AMC but rather a Pontiac.

[andpgud]

So for the cam I can get. Should I go with the mopar springs?

i have no idea but if i am to guess probably about 15HP and possibly 20 to 25 if you get roller rockers 1.6 or 1.7 respectively. Mind you it also depends to what that cam's range is and i'm too lazy to look right now, it could get better and flatter torque distribution rather than top end so that can be more beneficial even with less HP increase. They have pretty good customer service so an email or phone call will probably get you the right answer.

[grumpygy]

Just got a reply from Crane Cams.

Hello,
We do not make cams for that engine. We may be able to regrind a
suitable core. The cost would be $126.00 plus shipping.
Thanks for asking,

    Greg

Just got a reply from Crane Cams.

they used to from what i remember, i guess they just do the 6 cyl now.

[FourbangerYJ]

What do they do when they re-grind a cam? Add material to get a certain lift/duration?
