seriously though, he said the smoke was nearly cleared up. I cant clear up my 235cc hybrids with a 1200cfm turbo if that tells you anything, but his are b codes (higher injection ratio than hybrids) with stealth hpop too.

Oh there's no way I'd change mine. I just didn't understand why there weren't options like for a towing cam for instance. I guess they would have no benifit for 99.9% of owners as these engines are basically at their peak unless you are just flat out radical..

Oh btw, the seller of the cam is the same guy who has teh supercharged stock turboed 650hp psd with pmr's if that tells you anything.
Tuning it to run like a 6.0L or a Duramax......That's rediculous

Yeah, that guy's cool!! NOT!!

You have a cam made for towing, thats what the whole engine was designed to do. It wasnt designed to effeciently make pwoer above 4k rpms like the sled pullers and racers do so thats why people put aftermarket cams in diesels. Also the cams do help the engines breath better, which can drop egt's and help turbo spool up better all of which are important when your trying to make big hp.
