So with all the cams out there what do you think of this one?...
Its only 130 bucks and it comes with everything needed,,,
I would like a bo 1.5 but cant afford it anytime soon so does this make noticeable power?

It's a non-turbo cam that turbo guys used (when there were no turbo cams available). It will make power higher than the stock cams and sacrifice lower rpm tq in the process. More than one person has track tested it against a ranger roller and not gained anything though it "felt" faster.

I have one and it really is not a turbo cam. It does nothing under 3K and when it comes in after that depends on how big a turbo you have and other mods. It's great when it finally gets going but it can be long wait til it gets there.

Even with your ported IHI, I wouldn't buy that cam.

I would just save for a bo cam, if you really want to upgrade the cam. The T3 upgrade is also something that works well with our stock cam.

Your signature doesn't state what you are running as far as fuel pump, AFPR, exhaust(besides the ATR header. Im saying there is lots of mods you can do before the cam. A nice cam will always make more power. If you are keeping the IHI. I would do 3" downpipe and exhaust. Maybe a T3 before you run the stock fuel injectors out of fuel.

Good luck,

Travis

I had one and hated it. Its a stone cold dog until you hit 3100rpm and finally starts to pull. No likey. I would get Engle 111 slider before I got a A237 cam. I was trying to buy a A237 last month just to flip it to a friend so I could get a boport 1.1. Thats how I feel about a A237;P
