Anyone heard of this?  I just got a notice to watch for it?

 

 

Stock exhaust cam.

Cut off the end that is used for cam timing and machine to fit on the intake side of the head.

They use the modified exhaust cam as the intake cam and rotate it 180 degrees.  

This apparently can give 8-10 hp.

 

seems like a lot of work that can be so easily checked???

 


Phew...... that was a close one!

That has been around for years.  It is really only good for about 6hp without timing modifications.  Street tuners use it and adjust the timing wheels while they are at  it and get the 8-10 hp.  Cheap HP for a street tuner guy/gal.

Why not just buy big illegal cams? Why even bother with all the work? Both are illegal and easily detectable if looked at. If people want to cheat, they will.
