Frank,
Thanks for the suggestion.
The next step in the Hughes line would be the HER1218AL. The main difference
is the exhaust lift is .527 and the duration is longer (in/out = 215/220 @
.050 tap. lift). The rest is about the same. Does this sound like a better
cam for my situation?? I know that loss of low end torque will really kill
me because of the weight of my 4x4 Durango.
They say that they'll do custom grinds, so would the best of both cams be to
use the HER0612AL as the base (duration) then add the .527 on the exhaust
and the 114 LSA?
Thanks for you help!
John
P.S. I will be adding a set of ported heads when I do the cam install.
