@1990fordf150custom

This was when it had a C6 auto.

Did the cam affect your mileage?

[nevrenufhp]

@saxbros

It gets roughly 17mpg, so it's better than stock. If you put this cam in an otherwise 300, you wouldnt notice much loss in mileage. I'd guess .1mpg loss.

[saxbros]

Did you lose much low end?

[nevrenufhp]

@saxbros

On this truck, the power is coming in right as the stock torque converter is grabbing. Any loss in low end is not noticed. It may be a little more noticeable with a manual trans, but it's not all that big of a cam, and it has a choppy idle, so I would buy this cam for my truck. Mine is the red one in my other videos(300, open header).

That sounds like a V6.

[highdeserthater]

kinda is. its an inline 6.

[caniwitech]

Wow!!! You noticed that the 6 cyl sounds like a 6 cyl!!!! What was your first clue?

[santa914]

@Thinker669 Sounds like an Inline :)

how fast is it

[nevrenufhp]

Never took it to the strip to know how fast it is. Hard to even guess.

[nevrenufhp]

Its a Comp 268 cam

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

what size cam you runnin?

[WARD5KUSTOMZ]

sounds mean

[eriksf250]

what exhaust and mufflers are you running?

[nevrenufhp]

Exhaust leaves the full length header to dual 2.25 inch with Flowmaster Series 50s.

[ndubb1]

yea you should go with a bigger diameter. would help take away some of that ricey sound and make it sound deeper

[eriksf250]

love that sound, it sounds like a 6v92 detroit diesel
