I ran into a lifter failure, so I'm now looking at some cam options to add a little bit of power while I replace the lifters (nothing too crazy).
I have a 2012 Ram 1500 Sport (5.7L 4x4 Crew Cab) 6 speed trans.
Here are some of the Mopar parts I was looking at:
(4) 5038784AC - LIFTER KIT
(4) 53032221AA - MDS DELETE PLUGS
(16) 53022090AB - VALVE SEALS
(1) P5160074 - PERFORMANCE VALVE SPRINGS ** (will need a replacement that fits with the cam I choose - this seems discontinued, although I don't see many specs about the springs here)
(1) P5155655 - SET OF TIE BARS FOR ROCKER SHAFT ** (the site says this won't fit my truck, although I saw mentions of this around the forum?)
(1) 53021622BH - OIL PUMP
I don't want to end up modifying the phaser or anything like that and would like a VVT cam that will work with the non-MDS lifters and add a bit of power over stock without having to modify or spend too much. I'm capable of doing the research but my knowledge is still fairly limited, and I won't be doing the install myself.
Any recommendations would be helpful for power, budget and parts compatibility.
Thanks!
