stock 4.0 HO, cam curiosity
anyone threw a cam in the 4.0 HO?
just looking for ideas
stroker would be nice but no money for all of that, plus i kind of need the jeep every now and then don't have the option for the down time.
i'm just thinking about about getting a comp cam because i want the sound.
$170-$250 isn't all that bad for some "uniqueness" if it can be done on stock
not looking to start racing a jeep lol, just wanna hear it with a cammed lower idle that would sound really cool. i've just never been around anyone playing with the engine like that and wondering if its possible
friends, me, and a radio can handle putting it in
if anyone's got a thread or a build going or just a comment, fire away haha

www.summitracing.com will have cams and cam kits. 505 Performance has roller cam kits, but they are way too expensive for a mild build.

id like some more input from knowledgeable people. ive done quite a bit of research myself and the info is theyre

There have been tons of cam problems on strokers that I've heard of and obviously seen. That's why I'm going stock cam. Too little gain for too much money and the risk of failure seems to rise exponentially.
