    Anyone running Vararam-cam kit-shorties?

    New guy here. My 2011 Outdoorsman 5.7 is in the shop right now with a potential valvetrain failure. P0300 and #5 is zero compression, apparently. If that's the case, I'm contemplating MDS delete cam kit with shorty headers and a Vararam intake. Is anyone running that combination?
