Probably been done before... but i was wondering what sort of cam to put in my ED XR6. Its already got extractors, exhaust, head redone and decked, pod and CAI. I was after something a bit lumpier than standard xr6 spec. What do you recommend?

if you got a manual you can get a wade 1521a without having to chip it. theres a thread somewhere that tells you how to do it. and thats a mega lumpy ass cam. stage 4 i think.
i would use a wade 1004 , because its an auto id go either 112 lobe seperation or 114, i have a 112 in mine and when it was an auto it ideled in gear ok....
These cams cost around 120 bucks, which jmm can not match with there cams being 3-4 times dearer.
Results are deff worth while and with youre 3.45's it will respond good
With the dev 5 head and cam expect 170rwks and low14 1/4 mile passess.I am not sure what wade 1004 performs like to compare.Does anyone have 1/4 mile times?
whats a dev 5 worth? i mean its ground at the same place (wade) i dont see how the price is justified when similar results can be gained by using the wade grinds
well u would want to like the dev5 more because it cost 4.2 times the amount.
for the cost of the dev 5 u can get the wade 1521a and a set of pacy pipes... but i know he already has pipes ....
u can not measure lobe seperation or duration with accuracy.... if they were similar then they would idle the same..... the wade must of been wilder as far as valve over lap goes, my baby wade 1004 idles like a stocky..... well sorta
Yeah the dev5 idles good but not as good as stock, but the other one i just couldnt get right. It went ok but no better than the Dev5.
I sold it for what i paid.
its all in the lobe seperation. The JMM cams more than likely have wide 114+ lobe centers, where as the 1004 can be had in a 110LSA, and the 1521a comes in a 112LSA.
This is all very helpful - I was leaning towards getting the Wade 1521a not only because it was there fattest cam, but it was originallly designed for turbo applications (hence I wont have to get a custom grind for my turbo from someone that doesnt really know what they are doing)
You say the Wade was a "pig"; do you mean when it idled? How did it drive just cruising along?
The only problem I have is jmm wants $1000 for a bloody regrind cam kit, when i can get the kit (this is inc. springs) for about $600 from Wade!
