Are cheap cams good cams? Well maybe not all of them, but how about this $179 cam that Richard Holdener got to do some testing with. He put it up against a known camshaft for testing, and not only did he test it naturally aspirated, but also with boost! This low buck truck cam actually does make power, and seems to reinforce the official Richard Holdener mantra that every cam is a turbo cam. So watch the video and let us know what you think.
Video Description:
LOW BUCK TRUCK CAMS. EBAY, AMAZON, ONLINE CHEAP LS CAMS-ARE THEY WORTH IT? HOW MUCH POWER IS A $179 CAM WORTH? CAN I RUN A TURBO WITH A TRUCK CAM? DO I NEED A DEDICATED TURBO LS CAM? CAN I MAKE 1000 HP WITH A TRUCK CAM AND A TURBO? WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BAD EXPEREIENCES WITH THE CHEAP CAMS? CHECK OUT THIS VIDEO WHERE I DYNO TESTED ONE OF MY LOW BUCK TRUCK CAMS ($179 SHIPPED). THE CAM WAS COMPARED TO A STOCK LM7 CAM ON A NATURALLY ASPIRATED (ALUMINUM) 5.3L L33. CHECK OUT THE POWER GAINS! I THEN RAN THE SAME CAM COMPARSION (STOCK LM7 VS LOW BUCK TRUCK) AFTER ADDING A SINGLE TURBO TO THE 5.3L. DOES A TRUCK CAM MAKE A GOOD TURBO CAM…DEFINITELY YES!
