    Can swap advice

    Hey folks. I’m looking to do a cam swap. I was wondering if anyone had any good suggestions. I’m looking to get the most HP gains without losing reliability, I understand that I’ll probably have to replace springs, push rods and lifters so I don’t lose said reliability. All advice is appreciated.

    MAJOR Oil Pressure Problems.

    Almost two months ago, I was driving my dodge. Riding down the road, and noticed that my oil pressure gauge was slightly below the middle line. Mind you I was riding on 95 doing about 70. It's always about a tad above that middle line. Noticing this I got off on my regular exit, and instantly...
