TREX Cam Install, First Start Up Video

First start up video after we completed the cam swap. This is the actual first time I turned the key after we finished. I am having it tuned Wednesday so I haven't even drove it yet.

No sir it doesn't! I have regretted not going bigger with other cam swaps and didn't want to have any regrets this time.

With stock heads you have between .020 and .030 Piston to Valve clearance with that cam.

Let's see what numbers you get with that beast.
