6.1 hemi cam/heads and clutch suggestions for T56 magnum
« on: October 17, 2015 - 12:45:39 PM »
Going to be pulling the drivetrain soon to check the trains, and may add a cam and heads so any suggestions would be appreciated.

Just for anyone who may be interested, I had my heads ported by Thiteck heads, I bought a high horse performance stage 2R cam and got a McLeod RST twin disc clutch hopefully I will get it back together soon and let people know how she goes.

I would have suggested that clutch but I guess I missed this thread .
 Interesting to see how the cam changes things for you  :2thumbs:

Hey Chryco I may be swapping out that cam for a blower cam instead since I have kinda been looking at different super chargers

No I was running the stock cam until I just pulled the drivetrain. I may hold off on the blower cam and just the stage 2r cam even if I get a blower next year........I guess.         
Per the cam guys I'll only lose about 10 to 15 horse by not going to the blower cam.
