Fireman31 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Most power bands start in at around 2,500 RPM to 6500 RPM. Most of the popular mild to mildly aggressive cams here on the boards like the Comp XR275HR, TSP220R, 224R, and 228R all have power bands that range from bewteen 1200 - 1800rpm all the way up to 6200 - 6800rpm depending on the cam.... The XR265HR in question has a power band of 1200-6000 or 1400-6700 depending on the options you pick.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverss05 Posted February 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 Well the cams you listed is small enough in duration you can prob get by with the stock converter, are you wanting to keep the stock converter?? I have a TBTC already installed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to have to replace my TBTC just because of the cam size which I why I was thinking mild. Whats the difference really between the high lift and low lift of the XR265HR? And how do they compare to the Ligenfelter GT11 cam? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2bfast Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I love how most of the ones giving suggestions have never installed a cam and let alone should be giving cam choice help. In my opinion...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Downeast Johnny Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 I am going to keep track of this one. Hope to add a cam to my truck sometime in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverss05 Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sorry I dropped of the face of the earth, got a stomach flu... Not fun. Anyways. I think for my needs I will be going with the xr265, hardened push rods and ls6 springs. Should I also go with an ls2 timing chain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
