now remember dimebag you put an ecam in and you'll have to upgrade springs retainers and locks or you'll never be able to reach the max revs/rpm's...I believe I got a stock cam still at work in my stash of parts and I even have a cam of unknown orgin that was in my 92 that didn't work with stock springs as it wouldn't reach max revs before valve float occured.......and I'm alot closer then a few other on here...let me know what you need!!

thats a puzzle, I dont know how the retainer broke.

Id replace the camshaft and lifters, soak in oil.

have a cam that i'll give ya for shipping cost plus a few bucks just cuz i dont need it. it was all mic'ed out and everythin. its not much but its hugely better than the stock. here are the specs on it........

like i said its not a big step forward at all but its better than stock (better on the exhaust side and a bit more duration overall), you have the motor out to throw one in there and the price is right. its ur call i thought i'd just throw that out there for ya since i kno what its like to be in the situation
