97 Ram 360 Mild Cam

[gibsonlespaul2]

Mild cam, Big Cam.

Either way it goes, It should still have a little bit of a lope.

[bigsky89]

@gibsonlespaul2 my 95 has a mild cam and its just a tiny bit lumpy, but you can tell when you drive it, huge difference over my much more heavily modified '00 with stock cam. if the power band is a low rpm it wont have trouble idling, it gets a little lumpy but you can just notice it. also with 3" dual exhaust hes losing back pressure big time so the lump couldnt happen anyways.

[frankieboi1]

better mpg with the mild cam?

[dodge2289]

lol you should of just got 1.7 roller rockers. just like adding a mild cam just not as much work!

[patrickryanmcdonough]

Now with that cam, did you adjust the computer or have to upgrade your valvetrain? Just curious, i have a 2001 ram 5.2 and am starting to work on it, so far its got the flowmaster 40 series and soon to come the k&n intake. But im tyring to get an idea, thanks.

[pauljr1283]

I know this is probably the last concern when building an engine for more horsepower but what kind of fuel Mileage difference did the cam make? I am planning to rebuild my 360 soon and I am considering a mild cam so I am curious. Are the ported heads the only other thing you changed it's pretty much factory other then cams, heads, and exhaust?

[8747800]

wat is that continus buzzing?

[ND4SPD16Y8]

title says mild cam, description says big cam...

[canttouchmymopar]

Not trying to say you don't have an aftermarket camshaft but, What are your specs and where did you get it from?

[ddog0804]

how much did you pay for the cam?? i got a 98 durango 360 looking to hook up some upgrades what do you recommend

[SuperAngryTaco]

that buzzing would make me want to kill myself. nice sound though

[likeshisbike]

freakin buzzer, thats the first thing we did when i got mine was take it out.

[darkmp40]

where did you get your gauge faces? i'm looking for some for mine, and i can only find the ones for the newer style dash. Thanks

[HotRodDT]

sounds great!

[darkmp40]

where'd you get your gauge cluster?

[trd1717]

what a bunch of ignorant and uneducated fucks on this site... now that that's said.. nice truck, sounds good and i like the white face gauges you have.. feel free to check mine out (not a great vid of it though )

[2515488]

wut kind of cam

[silverbullet1500ram]

you say it has a cam! funny i didnt hear any lope

[bpshunter]

yea its called mild, that way it doesn't run rough at low rpms so I didn't have to change torque converter. Only difference between a mild cam and stock is more mid rpm range power.

[bpshunter]

And I'm sure your Ram snaps off as fast as that? LOL i thought so.

[FlipMollc]

@bpshunter i got a stock one 96 though ss/t, sounds alot different nice truck man

[fordboy111591]

a cam dont dont have any suck thing as a lope althou it does have bigger lift than a stock cam ive stuck bigger cams in lots of motors and most of them u couldnt tell the differce

[DODGEramDAMN]

@fordboy111591 oh bull shit u stupid fucker....if you put a cam in thats biger than stock its going to lope = bigger cam=bigger lobes on the cam= Ex/In valves are open longer= lope...so fuck you wigger

[fordboy111591]

@DODGEramDAMN nope there is no such thing as a lope... maybe a duration,and a lift but no lope .. how old are u anyways u sure mouth alot

[DODGEramDAMN]

@fordboy111591 ARE you just fucking stupid... lope is what they call the sound a cam makes with a choppy idel..aka lift measures how far the valve is opened, duration tells how long the open cycle lasts. How long there is given in degrees of crankshaft rotation..which = a lope dumb shit... just search "cam lope" and im 21...i only mouth off when people try to sound like they know what their talking about

[fordboy111591]

@DODGEramDAMN lol were all 21 online smartass dont tell me something that i already know there is no such term as lope.. look on any cam spec box,papers no such word the word you ppl fuck up is lobe witch is wat gives a cam its choppy idle ..pretty bad if u are 21 me being only 18 and having to correct you

[DODGEramDAMN]

@fordboy111591 ya dumb shit.... lopeing has nothing to do with the cam... Lope is a ''TERM" for the choopy idel.... dont try to corect me on this shit... i went to school for this shit and got ASE certified

[SuperAngryTaco]

@DODGEramDAMN

as a matter of fact...lope has EVERYTHING to do with the cam you dumbshit. It refers to valve overlap which is controlled by the...YES YOUR RIGHT...THE CAM!!!! DUN DUN DUNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[DODGEramDAMN]

@SuperAngryTaco I know what the fuck a cam is...but I was talking to the other guy that said "lope" has nothing to do with a cam..so talk shit to the other guy

[danraich]

@silverbullet1500ram Just because it has an aftermarket cam dosen't mean it will have a lope.

[C4Interceptor]

hey, i got a 96 indyram and im looking to do the exhaust on it...what exact performance upgrades are installed on the exhaust on this bad boy...NICE SOUND!

[bpshunter]

just 3 inch pips, Y it off at the cat and 3 inch pipes with 4.5" tips

[Thinker669]

That sounds badass.

[brehmerboy]

when you gutted your convertor did you have any problems with the check engine light?

[bpshunter]

it pops on maybe once every two or three months but then I just clear it and I'm good for a few months

[SeanW155]

lol this makes me want to redo my exhaust for sure. i did a super 44 with gutted cat but i have 2 1/2 inch pipe it sounds good but not as good as this thing! and i guess i better man up and get some headers too.. lol

[bpshunter]

Headers for sho............I need some headers too

[SeanW155]

I just got my headers in.. Ill put up a video as soon as i get them on

[bgpmp16]

doesnt even sound camed and even mine idles at six hundered smooth rpm"s but sounds like mine and thats nice man i have the same interior

[bpshunter]

well I didn't say it was a big huge .600 lobed cam, its a "MILD" cam, mild cams give you more mid range power without having to switch to a stall converter, yes its "mildly cammed" its more aggressive than stock, but not radical, thats why it says mild cam in the title, so people wouldn't jump my ass

[bgpmp16]

i wasnt jumping your shit didnt i say nice truck man dont b so defensive lol were all dodge guys

[bpshunter]

haha yea for sho, thanks man

[DODGEramDAMN]

@bpshunter then why did you put " big cam" in the Description

[theblaze370]

is this truck a RAM1500??

[bpshunter]

yep

[bicetart]

holy shit did u sell ur truck to a kid name tyler in iowa last year if so lol hes my good friend that truck is one bad sumbitch we had some fun times in it

[bpshunter]

Yea I did.......i missed it so i bought it back because some shit was wrong with it and he didn't wanna fuck with it.

Fixed ball joints, and got a new transmission and its good as new. Its been a headache but I'm glad i got it back.

[box200105]

GREAT!!!!

[dodge2289]

what cam you got and where did you get it cant seem to find one for my 360???

[ifabbott]

I just spent about 3 months looking for a good cam for mine, I settles with a COMP CAM, they have hundreds for a 360 ranging from hydraulic flat tappet all the way to solid roller cams. You can go as mild or as extreme as you want, some cams will required many other engine changes. If you need any other info, write to me.

[dodge2289]

thanks... i will

[dodge2289]

whered you get it from?

[bpshunter]

My cam is nothing special just a purple shaft mild cam......I recommend a Mopar Purple Shaft cam or a Comp Cams cant go wrong either way.

[goldengreek75]

dude, this is prolly the best 5.9 iv ever heard. that sounds amazing.

i need to get one for my grand cherokee

[dodge2289]

sounds good..

[CTDiesel24]

have you ever had any check engine lights come on with the cam?

[bpshunter]

once every few months the check engine light will pop on but I just reset the computer and it goes away.............usually doesn't come back on for like 4 or 5 months.

[CGDodgeMan]

like the white face gauges im lookin 4 some how much lift u got

[bpshunter]

7" Skyjacker lift, its a 5" Skyjacker lift plug 2" leveling kit and 2" blocks in the back

[CGDodgeMan]

i got a 95 sounds alot alike do u got flowmasters

[bpshunter]

nope gutted cat with 3 inch duals all the way back with 4 1/2 tips

[Sasquatch2010]

hey man i got a 1998 dodge ram, could you tell me what kind of cam and lifters would give it a good lopey sound...

[bpshunter]

I would go with a Comp Cams Camshaft, or a Purpleshaft Mopar Camshaft with a .450 lift and not sure what kinda lifters, thats up to you to check around on.

[ifabbott]

Sounds nice man!

[CDiesel101]

nice truck..the day i got my 94 i riped that stupid buzzer out..thats the only bad part about the hole truck

[AlpineX12]

Hey, I'm looking at doing a mild cam in my 360, what kind of horsepower/torque gain did you get? Cheers - Ryan

[gary96360]

nice truck. you should take out the fuse to get rid of that buzzer sound. i did it to my truck and its nice now that i dont hear that stupid buzz. theres a fuse in the fuse box that is for that buzzer. nothing will screw up if u take it out.

[bpshunter]

I will......DEFINITELY do that, yes it is very annoying.I have recently added a complete msd racing ignition and gained around 15hp..... I would guess.

[tobyrfasthorse]

where did you get your white guage face, i've been looking for one but can't seem to find it.

[bpshunter]

Not sure where to find them. They were in the truck when I bought it.

[bobbert07]

what kind of exhaust do u have i love the way it sounds

[bpshunter]

cat back dual exhaust 3inch pipes with 4.5inch tips. Cat is punched out.

[CamaroTBI]

I know its been said before but that buzzer is annoying as hell. It pierces right through my brain.

[alxflrs2002]

Sounds Nice.. Question.. I want to get a Mopar Performance Pcm. Do you have it? does it work, and most importanly does it raise the rev limiter? I got a Comp Cams which should work up to 5800 rpm but my computer has a rev limiter around 5250. 97 Dodge Ram 4x4.

[bpshunter]

I do not have a mopar pcm, it does work and it does raise the rev limiter tho. Mine has a rev limiter of 5500.

[ffemt1649]

what heads are you using? stock?, r/t? aluminum? im in the process of rebuilding my ram 360-its a '97 short box 2wd 1500 sport.

[bpshunter]

stock heads........ported and polished

that truck will fucking move bein a 2WD short box.

[floydiangreen]

sounds like you have a bee in your bonnett

[bpshunter]

haha yea annoying buzzer

[StrokerAce02]

i love dodge, but i owned one like this and that was the most annoying ignition buzzer ive ever seen. but nice truck though man.

[smartweeape]

i have an 02 5.9l 4x4 what kind of cam do you have im trying to buy 1

[bpshunter]

I have a very very mild mopar purpleshaft cam......I would recommend atleast a .450 lift Mopar Purpleshaft cam thats what i am upgrading too

[yungmola1]

i have a 2002 4.7L ram,tell me what i need to get mine to sound like that

[bpshunter]

you can start by loosening the motor mount bolts

[mkroll449]

sounds great

[bpshunter]

thanks
