Message:
I am not looking to run 12s with my truck just want to know if this cam works over the stocker. I have read a lot of bad but people think a cam should add 100 horsepower.

I have a 5.2 with MP headers, 1.6RRs, 2brl M1,and ported throttle body. I'm running stock ignition and stock PCM.

This truck is driven daily and I'm looking for maybe 20 HP from the cam swap. I have the roller timing chain just not sure which MP cam to buy, either the 5249549 (RT) or the new 5007551

If your looking for a mild came to give you some power this cam is simmilar to the mopar r/t cam. I had it in my 5.2 and worked very well with nitrous. like 2 seconds on a 150 shot. Don't forget to get stronger springs with the cam and some better lifters wouldn't hurt
