6600 miles across Canada and the United States to attend Ponies in the Smokies 2025 in Pigeon Forge Tennessee

I was excited about all the perks a cam can offer: more power, that iconic lumpy idle, and an overall more aggressive sound. But, like any modification, there are always trade-offs.

I was ultra focused on maintaining as much of the stock 5.0’s low-end torque as possible, and the Comp Cam XE266HR was a great balance for that. It’s got a good torque curve that starts delivering power at lower RPMs, which is perfect for daily driving. But what I didn’t fully expect were the quirks that come with a lumpier camshaft.
