It is the largest drop-in cam that we sell. Use with 62mm or larger single turbos or larger twins. This cam works great in 12v and 24v street trucks with stock head flow or with a ported head and stock size valves. For Common rail street trucks with larger valves and full tilt porting may we suggest the 178-208 to retain best bottom end. The intake is cut on a 99 centerline, performance springs and pushrods are recommended. If you have had your head or block surfaced, you need to verify piston to valve clearance. For it to be "drop in" on a 12v you will need no more than .018" piston protrusion and at least .055" valve face depth with a standard head gasket and a 99 intake centerline. On a 24v you will need no more than .018" piston protrusion and at least .038" valve face depth with a standard gasket. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for piston to valve clearance, don't worry, you can still run an oversize headgasket or cut valve reliefs.
Modification Required:
- For it to be “drop in” on a 12v you will need no more than .025? piston protrusion and at least .055? valve face depth with a standard head gasket and a 99 intake centerline. On a 98 – 02 24v you will need no more than .025? piston protrusion and at least .038? valve face depth with a standard gasket. On an 03 and up, it needs .018?piston protrusion and at least .038? valve face depth with a standard gasket. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for piston to valve clearance, don’t worry, you can still run an oversize head gasket or cut valve reliefs.
- Although this is considered a drop in cam it is important to check clearances (You can use our clearance calculator to make it a little easier)
- For the Steel version you will need atleast two bushings installed in the cam tunnel, otherwise the steel could eat into the cast iron block
- We always recommend new lifters when changing a cam.
Applications:
- Used in daily drivers
- hot street
- Drag strip
- Stock class pulling
Break in:
To make sure that you have no issues during break-in, follow these few suggestions.
- Make sure that the cam has a Liberal amount of quality assembly lube applied
- DO NOT let the engine start without oil pressure
- When this is a new engine, be sure to put a liberal amount of assembly lube in the oil pump and prime the oil filter
- Be sure to change the oil after you have done your break-in procedure. When the filter and oil system are already primed, engine will get oil pressure much faster than if the oil is changed at the same time.
- Disconnect the fuel system and spin the engine with the starter until oil pressure can be read or until oil is coming out of the rocker arms.
- Once oil pressure has been verified, let the engine start and run until up to operating temp
- Adjust valves then you are cleared to abuse your engine. Enjoy the added airflow
- if you need to re-torque or “hot-torque “the head, do so before adjusting valves. When you retorque the head, the valve lash setting, so it is important to set lash last.
