MUST WATCH before buying a 12 Valve Camshaft

[@ChevyConQueso]

I bought a new 178/208 cam with an engine I was buying for my '83 Ford 4x4. You left me feeling cozy about keeping it with my mediocre 500 hp longer term goal.

Awesome, grunty off idle torque is definitely where it’s at

[@cpfpv6410]

Outstanding Video!!! I have a 2005 with a 6 speed manual used for towing and I desperately needed this information!! Thank you

[@StockyBaldman]

Awesome man, thanks for watching!

[@ryanrich9186]

These are the ones worth keeping. The rigs that are built for you. BY YOU. Build it once build it right, don't put a monetary value on it. In the long run if taken care of properly, you will never have to purchase another unless you wanted to. Money no object I would do a mechanical cummins ( 24 valve p pump ) with the 6 speed manual 5600 in a ford ( because let's be honest their interior is WHAY nicer ) on a custom chassis based on rockwells... unstoppable.

You are right, things definitely got out of hand but I love this truck

[@witcher71]

Compounds build a ton of torque. Be careful what you wish for or you'll be constantly rebuilding that transmission regardless whos kit you use.

[@StockyBaldman]

Good to know

[@oldcroneysgarage9739]

Great video. The truck is getting closer and closer to being done.

[@StockyBaldman]

Ya man! I can't wait to get the motor and front axle in. So much stuff depends on those being there

[@justinschooler6243]

The 178/208 will drop ur egts by a couple hundred degrees also

[@StockyBaldman]

Awesome, yeah it’s just a matter of time until I end up with that one

[@davidstockard1069]

Thanks for the info!

[@StockyBaldman]

Thanks for watching!

If you don't want to rip out past 2500rpm then stock or custom cam is the way to go. Honestly a good ported head would do more for you than a cam ever would.

[@StockyBaldman]

I agree. Gonna put this thing on a dyno next week with the stock cam and then I might throw the Hamilton back in and compare on the dyno. Should be interesting

[@dixiemae5042]

Good to post what not to do 🙈👍🏻

[@StockyBaldman]

Yeah let’s be honest, that’s about all I’m qualified to do. 😆

[@valve-do3jc]

So what cam are u gonna use?

[@StockyBaldman]

Stock

[@dixiemae5042]

Plethora ... 🤔

[@StockyBaldman]

Oh yes

[@mowsgrass7747]

Ha because 6.7 liter 24 valve was a option that year!
