Welcome to good ole american muscle era - it works suprisingly well despite its "simplicity"

Yeah I guess I did. I mean like even civics have two cams...

I bet labor on engine work on these is cheap, is a cam job like 1000 bucks?

Maybe =), I was just watching Top Gear, they reviewed the SRT10 and I thoguht the quote "If you gave the british a 8.1 liter to play with you'd have a whole lot more than 500 break horsepower"

Simple yeah, but it does work well, and the low-end torque is pretty sick too.

between the Hemis and GM's LS motors i think thats enough to proof that single cams are here to stay...

You mean the salesman was lying when he told me the Jeep was quad-cam, like a Ferarri?! :mad:

Yep! & it doesn't take 8k rpm to make 420hp either.

But if it had 2 cams, it would make a whole bunch more horsepower at 8k
