Where did you get that information? According to the Chrysler execs as seen in UTUBE interview, there is no difference in the engines. The disparity in HP figures was a marketing thing, MB didn't want the Crossfire advertised as the same HP when their car cost a few grand more. Would it make sense to change cams, then change all the perameters that it would affect, including reprogramming the ECU, etc. for 19 piddly hp. If you can show me the data on the cams and they are indeed different, then you have my apology, and also my curiosity because that would be another upgrade to look into.
