Thread: stock 3.5v8 efi camshaft vs stock 3.9v8 efi camshaft

This appears a good discussion on the subject.

Regards Philip A

Did you keep the lifters in order so they go back on the same lobe as before, Regards Frank.

Yeah, both the cam and lifters are still in the old motor, but yes I was going to match them.

So it looks like I'll get good low end but might miss out on a few HP, No boubt that the standard 3.9 would be better as it's matched. Still need a bit more definitive answer, might ring around.

Definitely a 3.9 cam.
Even if you have a 3.5, use a 3.9 cam as they will give it a huge low down torque boost.
I made the mistake of listening to the guys at TRS who sold me a cam that ended up being more for the 3.5, the Dynatec PC216 and confirmed by a work coleague who was State Manager for Precision here in Perth. Even visually the lobe pattern was smaller. I now have idling issues an it really lacks the low down even the old cam had.
Take a look at Piper Cams in the UK but unless your running a chipped or aftermarket ECU, stick with a stock profile.

Have done a post a couple of years ago on my woes with this.

Cheers
