RE: camshafts

i heard about people spraying a 250 shot on stock internals. i wouldn't be afraid to put a 75-100 shot on it.

but i agree on suspension tires and gears. remember spinning aint winning

If you are doing the cam then you might as well do the heads and intake because it all has to come off to access the cam. Well the heads dont technically have to come off most people do since most do hci swaps at the same time. You will most likely see a decrease in performance putting a cam in a stock motor.

uuummmm.... no you dont lose performance you gain

Sure about that? I didnt say a loss in HP, but a loss in performance. Even the most babydick cams (e, tfs 1)start making poweraround 2500-3000 and the heads and intake choke around 5500rpm. Have fun with that powerband!

Speaking of that a buddy of mine who used to off road had one of those Moroso oil accumulators or whatever that thing is that shoots pressurized oil into the motor in event of pressure loss rigged up as a pre-luber when he turned the key. From a common sense point of view that motor would last forever since it never had a dry start....too bad he sold the truck it was badass.
