Didn't know if the engine builders on here knew about these new cams from Comp Cams. Unfortunately, they're not for Mopars just yet, just Fords and Chevy's.  Here's a good tech article for those that want to be enlightened.

For those that liked looking Jessica Barton, she has a video in the link as well ;)

About time. Now, all we need is some of that VCT on these older engines, and we'll be there.

I'm surprised it has taken 60+ years to develop a cam of this type for the public.  It's been wellknown for quite a while that different length runners make different power levels.  Too bad it will take a few more years for us mopar guys to get it.

I also hear these cams are around the $600.00-$800.00 mark as well. Oh well, sounded great out the gate, but like everything else that's "New" and improved, we poor folks mus wait till the price comes down.

Part of the reason for the high costs, is because the outboard cylinders have to have stiffer springs due to increased lift.   At least it might lower costs on the regular cams in the future as more people become aware of these new cams.

I can wait  :popcrn:  I doubt that we'll see too many chevys and fords running these for quite a while.
