cams are most definately the LAST thing you want to do on those motors. Seriously. He’ll lose power on stock turbo, they’re just that ghey. But… if he’s serious… cat cams 3652’s w/an adjustable cam gear dialed back a couple degrees… if he made any power up top that combo would net him about 50 more 6.5k and up. But he doesn’t so it will be a waste. ---

Software, cat-back, high-flow cat, larger turbo, in that order. Everybody else has already tried to think out of the box on these, and 99 out of 100 of them have failed. We work on lots of these. Feel free to call or stop by. ---

If they’re off on the intake to exhaust chain, then simply fix it. If crank to cam belt timing is off, simply fix it.
