I didn't see an email, Rob.
Never mind, went to my old email.

What are specs of the cams vs old cams, lift and duration?
Do these just have a increased lift or different lob separation and a higher power band than we have now?
Dyno results on a NA would be great, to compare powerband of factory vs new cams?

Re: who needs shricks cams?
I have the same question Rob... What is the benefit, if there isn't a significant different in lift and duration? More acceleration, more torque? I am sure AMG uses damn good machined cams to begin with...

Re: who needs shricks cams?
ok, the cam specs in the 2nd post are for the NA m112 motors, I'm sorry I was incorrect earlier.
for the m112k (srt6) motor they have 2 options now.
268int/272exh
and the new 272/272 cam
for them to run the 272/272 they require to run 3 sets at a time to avoid a large setup fee
cams would be $2k per set and figure 2 months lead time

Re: who needs shricks cams?
From what I seen, when guys would do cam swaps in there modular mustangs they wouldnt gain much something around like 25 hp but they would get that lovely cammed v8 sound.
When its done on pushrod motors though i.e LSX/hemi/viper v10's the gains were pretty high especially when you added in ported heads to take advantage of that cam. You can get gains as high as 100+ hp and torque.
I wouldnt expect much hp gains in changing the cams in the these motors. Im only basing this on what Ive seen with other modular motors rather its 2v/3v/4v. Cam swaps dont help these motors out much as they do OHV motors.

Cks performance rates the schrick cams at 25 and 32 hp for na and srt.
But damn 2k for a pair of bare camshafts

I hardly consider removing a valve cover is cracking the motor open.
