6.1 cam spec

[truckin151]

Dont know about that, the revision for my 268 was suppose to be ablout the same as that of a lot of other vehicles and mine didnt like it and needed some more tuning to get it right (need a revision now in fact). Some pcms like certain things and others dont. No rhyme ot reason to it.

Time to put the drink down, damn typing is gettin slopy lol

You could always do what I did and start from lamest 2006 5.7 tune and write it into a 4.7 PCM as a baseline and tweak from there.

While digging through some old posts I found the spec for the OEM 6.1 cam.

It has been posted that it is 205/210 duration 542/526 116 lsa cam.

I heard folks using this cam for regrinds and even installed stock. The lsa cannot be changed but rhe profile can be modified. Installed stock it has been said the low end torque suffers, but picks up upper-mid and top end. Also said to be suitable for light trucks with 5 degrees advance, Anyone with real experience pls post.

Are you certain this is the specs of the 6.1 stock camshaft? im going to be ordering a converter next week and was gonna use these specs. i cant find anything on the stock 6.1 cam and remembered you posted this thank god just curioous as to how accurate you beleive it is before i order this converter.

With a 6.1 cam a 2800 stall would be about as big as you will wanna go esp if you still tow.

I have seen a few different spec's for the 6.1, but believe this to be the correct one.

205/210 duration 542/526 116 lsa cam

Also, recently it has also been stated that the lsa can be changed on a regrind. I have not spoken to a cam regrinder about this. But my personal opinion is if folks are actually doing this they are really pushing the profile limits and I wouldn't want to use one of these cams..

As Kenneth is pointing out higher stalls and towing are not good combinations. IMO, towing and heavy vehicles need gears a lot more than higher stall TC's.

Ok thanks.

do the regrounds sound choppy?

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

If your gonna do a regrind just do an off the shelf cam. The regrinds require custom cut rods and you dont come out ahead unless you dont want to have to tune it. My first was a regrind and did good for what I wanted..... but I ended up wanting more so it got changed out.

If you got one how much you want for it

Throw it in straight up with a 4 degree advance bushing/adjustable timing chain and you'll be grinning from ear to ear. Thats probably my next experiment so I can chew em even better down Low. BTW they run great on SC 87 or 91 Tune with no Cels.

Try and get an AC Version! Good Luck.

AC version?

 

[KGBIGCOUNTRY]

The LSA is cut alill diff between the two versions. All it means to you is either a sharper power curve or one more linear. If im thinking right and Danny correct me on this should just be 2* of difference.

Well its said to be the better one. Now its been a while since I looked up numbers but the Talk back in 06 was as follows.

Greg Mentioned the Following Numbers back early in this Post of what he found listed:
It has been posted that it is 205/210 duration 542/526 116 lsa cam.

My impressions based on searching is that the AB is the first version with these specs:

338 lobe lift, duration 50 on the intake 205, exhaust 211
and 557 /528 lift, on a 117 LSA.

where as the AC version differs as 208/211 with same lift but on a 114 LSA.

To me if this info is 1/2 True then the AC Version would be Meaner Like Kenneth Explained?

I know that the box the Cam came in has AC as part of the Part # but is not as far as I know stamped into the Cam itself like on some Factory Cams (My LX did).

You can get new one at Hensons or PM Factory Mopar .com Vendor who are awesome to deal with anyways they can hook you up.
