yea take it out and take it to a cam regrinder

 

question's to ask your self

 

do you want low end torque?

mid range

or all your power up top?

Also ask yourself do I have hydrilic lifters and do you want to change them to solids as this woll determine the cam grinds you can get.

 

Personally I stuck with the hydrolic lifters and had my cam reground to Wade 169 specs. Noticable lump at idle, but not excessive and a good spread of power. Would spin to 8000 rpm as well.

 

Could of gone bigger, but it would of made it a pig to drive and slower overall.

want low range :)

 

for skids and really want it to have that lumpy idle sound to it.

 

what is this wade 169 specs you speak of??

You seem more interesting it what it sounds like at idle than what it'll go like so just remove 1x spark plug lead. :lolcry:

 

Seriously, there's several fresh thread about K cams lately. Go look in one of them. :)
