 Subject: Towing with a big cam
IP: Logged
Message:
I am curious who here uses their truck for mild towing (a couple four-wheelers or jet skis) and has a larger cam. I want to build a Blown 408 Setup, like the Kenny Bridges rig under customer rides on www.krcperformance.com, to put in my Ram SS/T! It has a 220 cam but I'm not sure how that would be for mild towing. Any input would be nice.

Just make sure you're not in boost all the time, cause you might burn out your S/C

Yeah, I guess all those diesels must not be up on the "don't tow with a turbo thing!". S/C's make boost at idle and throughout the powerband so they are obviuosly always under boost. I have 3.93 and LSD. My only concern was the high duration cam having to high of a powerband. But being a stroker and having a blower should create plenty of low end torque.
Thanks CW!
