This cam just blew away what I even thought was possible with these engines and stock ecu’s.  It is the key to making big power even with the E7TE heads.  The big lift and short duration is the key with this cam.

We developed this cam after running our stage 1 cam with 2.0 ratio roller rockers to kick it up to .566/.600 lift, then with 1.9 ratio to see the difference again.  What we discovered was that a big lift and short duration makes for a well mannered monster.  I still chuckle when the truck fires up crisp and clean at 0 degrees outside.  It makes the truck race up to speed with ease and like never before, even at elevation, climbing a hill and right into the wind—- it straight pulls.  I then spent a lot of time with Howards coming up with this lobe profile to nail down what I wanted on this one, and then to come up with a springs, locks, and retainers package to accomodate what we developed.  Don’t shy away, this cam will also work amazingly well in carbureted engines.

DON’T BUY JUNK CAMS NO MATTER THE NAME ON THE BOX. THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT WILL WORK WITH EFI OR THEY WILL WIPE OUT YOUR ENGINE, IT’S NOT WORTH SAVING A LITTLE MONEY.

After years of trying and losing over 20 cams we decided to modify our favorites and make our own lines.  We partnered up with Howard’s cams to get these custom made (IN THE USA) to our specifications.  Like so many others, we have fought low quality cams failing on us (most of them with a big name on the package).  Not willing to take any chances ever again, we are thrilled to have partnered up with Howard’s Cams, and their unrivaled quality.  To be able to run this camshaft you have to swap to the included springs, locks, and retainers.  We have always had great spring pressure with this setup, we rarely even put shims under these to hit our target of seat pressure, but also keep the “over the nose” pressure where we want it.  This package will buy you 120 thousands more clearance between the valve seal and valve retainer.  You will still want to check your clearance, especially with the E7TE heads.  We have never lost a single Howards camshaft, and to make sure you don’t either, we are sending you the same break-in oil we run.  We also include a bottle of the zddp additive that the oil manufacturers stopped adding to protect your engine.  The 16oz bottle we include is enough for 10 oil changes to come.
