Fuel and Tuning: Works best with 600–750 CFM carburetors or equivalent EFI systems
Exhaust: Pair with high-flow headers and performance exhaust systems for maximum gains
LSA Impact: The 112° LSA provides a more refined powerband, enhancing low-end torque and offering a wider, more usable range for daily driving
🧰 Installation Recommendations:
Spring Pressure: Ensure valve springs are upgraded to handle .480" lift—performance springs are recommended for durability and optimal performance
Lubrication: Use ZDDP-rich break-in oil during the initial startup to protect the camshaft and lifters
Degreeing: Degree the camshaft to ensure optimal timing and maximum performance—this can make a noticeable difference in power output
Lifters: Always use new lifters that match the camshaft to avoid premature wear
Timing Chain: A double-roller timing chain is recommended for precise cam timing and durability
