Hey I was looking foursome other ways to get more power for my jeep. Has anyone put a performance cam in the strait 6 motor, if so how was the install and is it worth it... Thank you

 

It's alot of work and the gains are minimal.

 

A full tune up full exhaust will give you some power.The 4.0 was designed to run forever so its gonna lack a little power.

 

My reading has shown that:

• The install is involved. Not difficult, just time consuming
• Aftermarket cams will need upgraded springs
• No real huge gains have been shown with them.
• It seems that with aftermarket cams you are going to move your powerband up or down, not really make any gains to justify it.

Your money would be better spent on gears imo.

 

RACE JEEP! Turbo boost it, or stroke it. Not much else seems to be able to be done.

 

i put a mile comp cam in my renix MJ, only because it was $50 and i had the engine on a stand. the gains were noticeable, but nothing extraordinary. it feels like it gained some low end torque if anything. either way im still downshifting on any hill with my 4.10s and 33s. the best part of the cam was probably the better idle sound lol
