ok guys im having a problem choosing a cam for my 93 22re, im stuck between the 268 torqer an the 261 crawler. my driving conditions are mostly city during the week but the weekends i speend a lot of time on the highway between 55 and 80 MPH, and somtimes i pull a trailer. my mods are a cat back flowmaster exhaust and a cold air intake. so witch cam should i go with the 268 or the 261? i want a cam that has good aoff idle power up to 4500 rpm and i run 32/1150/15 BFG'S.

 

i had the same problem....the difference is really only about 500rpm..

in your case you need the 261C..since you have 32" tires..you'll want the low end torque of the 261 to get your truck moving better...the 268* is good from about 1400rpms to 5000+..just grab the 261*..you love it!

 

yeah ive ben leaning toured the 261. hows the idle with the 261?

 

i havent gotten mine in yet...its still at engnbldr..hahahaha...

from what i've read though its close to stock..maybe a little bit lumpy..but not much...im anxious to get it and get it in..

 

how long does it take for him to ship it?

 

depends on what shipping you want..

either priority or UPS..

sooo..however long that takes..he has the cams in stock..so..call him earlier in the morning (remember hes in oregon..time zones are different) and he should be able get it out of there same day..then it will be to you within a few days

 

man that sounds good, it looks like ima go with the 261.

 

what other mods have you done to your truck???..i recommend getting a header to go along with the cam..also..trash your cat..or get a hi-flow cat...then a nice muffler of your choice..with that and the cam..you should see some nice power increases...and it'll sound BADA$$

since you got the 22re (im assuming)..you might want to do some kind of an intake mod..i know theres one out there..idk whats it called though..lol

i've also heard that with stock gears..the best tire size is a 30x9.50
it seems to give the best power..and mpg's..or so i've heard..my 28" kelly's get pretty good mpg's..

remember..i dont think you can just throw the cam in there..i believe you have to replace the headgasket..and numerous other gaskets...so dont forget all that!

 

well im in the middle of replacing the head right now, it was cracked between the valve's on cylinders 1,2 an 3. the only mods i got are the flowmaster muffler with 2.25 exhaust from the cat back and the cold air intake.
