What cam are you guys running in ya'lls Hemi's????
The 260, 268 or the 270???? I have a buddy that wants to install a cam but he doesn't know which one to install. I don't know much about the Hemi's to point him in the right(or wrong) direction. His truck is a DD so not to radical....

Thanks guys for any info on this!!!!
James

Oh, his is going to install PR, springs, tit retainers........everything to you need to do a cam swap.

 

Sorry I have no info for you. Just thought I'd say hi from another Austinite and give your thread a bump.

Cheers,
Larry

 

The 260 works well by itself. If you have a splitsecond or smt6 piggyback, the 268 can be tuned. Don't even think about the 273 until SCT has custom programming avail.

 

The 260 yields good results from just dropping it in. If you've got the patience and know how to tune go ahead and get the 268, the sound alone is worth it. The 268 makes still makes peak power at less than 6000 rpm's so there's no need to worry about running out of rpm's with the factory governor. Be sure and tell him to get 16 of the 6.1 hemi exhaust springs. DON"T use the comp 918 beehives in the hemi. The factory 6.1 springs are cheaper and nobody has had any problems with breaking them. There's countless people that have had spring failures with the 918's in the hemis, including myself.

 

918 comp spring from my truck..



Here's a little sound clip of my truck with the 268 in it.

Sorry to thread hijack. Heath what headers you using?

 

I'm just running the cheapo Hedman longtubes. I like the fact that they have 1 5/8" primaries vs 1 3/4" for all others. I'm thinking about chopping the 2 1/2" collector off and stepping up to a 3", but I haven't decided yet...

 

Sweeet, where did u buy them? Thanks

 

I don't remember. Either Summitt or Jegs. I think it was Jegs, but it's been about three years.
