Description Overview
Is it time to rebuild your engine? Or maybe you just want more power. This kit will upgrade every part of your 24-valve valvetrain. When you combine Hamilton's best all-around-performing camshaft with valve springs that control the valvetrain to 4500rpm and 80lbs of boost, pushrods rated to well over 3,000hp, and their 1.45″ tappets that provide more surface area, you have the best cam combo on the market for the Cummins. If you’re looking for the quickest spool and the widest rpm band of all of Hamilton's cams, this is it. Initially designed for trucks that work hard and need instant torque in the low rpm range. It was later found to significantly help spool large single turbos, increase fuel economy, lower EGT, and maintain power at higher elevations, all while keeping big hp and rpm potential. If you are thinking it is too small for your HP goals, think again. On their engine dyno, a 6.7L with a single s400 made 1100hp with a stock head, 1250hp with a stock head and larger valves, and 1588hp @4500 RPM with a ported head. IMP NOTE: For it to be “drop in” you will need no more than .020″piston protrusion and at least .038″ valve face depth with a standard gasket. If you do not meet the minimum requirements for piston to valve clearance, don’t worry, you can still run an oversize head gasket or cut valve reliefs.
