May 13, 201115 yr comment_523860 Keep in mind that cams are designed for their associated lifter. If you have a 5K with hydraulic lifters then ideally you want a cam that is designed for hydraulic lifters. Most aftermarket cams are ground for 3K's or 4K's so are ground for solids. Report

May 21, 201115 yr comment_525754 Nooooooooo!!!!!! A 5K will put a much bigger smile on your face. Just get the 5K cam reground to whatever specs you want. Just tell the engine builder or cam company what you want from your motor and they will find you the most suitable grind. Thats what I did and it worked a charm. No need to change to solids or any of that crap. From memory I was running a Wade grind, 169 was the code, I think. Report
