Motor sounds/runs awful after cam
I took a look at it in the afternoon, right under the driver side valve cover I saw that I had stupidly put a pushrod down the wrong hole and seemed to not double check it, stupid mistake but I learned from it, map sensor connector wasn't all the way in, and did a throttle body relearn. Runs and...- Dave00

Motor sounds/runs awful after cam
Yesterday I finished my cam/lifter job, and the motor sounded awful, all sorts of ticking and a ton of shaking. Even after a tune it wont idle much. Also to note I had a p0108 and the red lightning bolt symbol was flashing like crazy, which I believe is the throttle body. I believed it to be a...- Dave00

Phaser limiter orientation
Putting a cam in my 2011 5.7, and I have a BTR phaser limiter, and one side is tapered, does anybody know if the orientation of this matters if the thinner side goes top or facing bottom? Limiter: https://briantooleyracing.com/btr-vvt-phaser-limiters.html- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
I love both the sleeper idea but I also love that choppy sound. Im not crazy like I need it to sound like a race truck but just a nice exhaust note. I feel like almost any cam is gonna have a little bit of chop as I want a cam with a bit lower lsa, besides exhaust is probably staying stock for a...- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
This is great info thanks for that. I use my truck about 50/50 regular driving which I would love a nice cam with, and as a truck with some towing (typically no more than 6,500lbs) and just hauling my dirtbikes around 190-220lbs each which I could benefit from a little power all around, and I...- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
You make a good point that the heads being off will make it super easy, I think it just sounded worse in my head but its a simple job it looks. Current ones are also ~140,000 miles in. I'm looking now at TSP, BTR, or FRP cams because at this point I might as well just go as big as I can without...- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
I have a 2011 so un unlocked PCM, the tune I can get done for $500 from Hemifever and I'm looking to also get the diablo i3. That MMX cam seems not a lot of gain for the money almost $650. TSP Low lift Cams are on sale for $440 or $540 with a lockout so I might just go with stage 2 low lift or...- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
You say you've been looking at cams, are you thinking about one that uses a limiter? I have no experience when it comes to tuning and am trying to gauge how much of a headache it could be and cost to get my cel off and tuning out the VVT. Thinking Ill go with the MMX cam just to get that little...- Dave00

NSR and No Phaser lock Cam 2011 5.7
Doing a cam/lifter replacement on my 5.7 and want to know if anybody knows any camshafts that are no springs/no phaser limiter required. Also doing MDS delete and already have non mds lifters from comp cams (856Y-16) and new OEM pushrods. Been debating on cams for a few months but have ruled out...- Dave00
