RE: Cams

none... SD doesnt like cams very much. I would stick to a stock cam. you could do a MAF conversion. Also I beleive the SD engine dont have valve releifs in the pistons... so there could be a piston/valve clearence problem

RE: Cams

He means to convert your car to mass air. Right now you have a speed density setup. If you want to learn about them check out the thread... "Volumetric Efficiency" and than scroll down and see my HUGE post. There are two parts in there. One is on speed density and one is on mass air.
