question about f22a6 camshaft

[turbomaxx]

if i put a f22a6 cam in my f22a4, would it make any power increase?

someone tryed telling me it would.

i thought it was just the dual runners on the intake manifold tho.

answers?

Not really your better off just getting a regrind.

bisi cam or delta cam nuff said

[turbomaxx]

well i know that those are my best options in terms of making more power, but im really slim on $$, and my bud wants to sell me this camshaft real cheap. so i was just wondering if it would make anymore power.

again, im only asking because i thought that the f22a6 only made its extra power via the dual runners on the IM.

don't you think you'd be spending more money on your car using that cam?

i mean you're going to need a new VC gasket, maybe some tube seals (if you're leaking oil) and rocker arm seals since you're going to have the rocker arm assembly off anyways.

it's probably going to be more trouble than it's worth.

[turbomaxx]

hmm. good point.
im gonna pass on it.

BUT my question still remains.

does the f22a6 cam make more power than whats in the f22a4? or is it the same cam?

[accordaffair]

The consensus that I heard is that the change is so infinitesimal that it wouldn't be worth the effort it takes to remove your old camshaft to install another one.

Its not the same cam, The difference is minimal. Its not worth the extra time, labor, and cost for that little potential change in HP.

[turbomaxx]

thanks guys. thats all i really wanted to know.

now a good question is, would it be worth it if i swapped the A6 cam inplace of my A1 cam?

that was something i was highly thinking about when i was having my lower rocker arms seals replaced, i mean everything was off anyway so why not you know? well the guy at the salvage yard wouldn't let me take the VC off of the car so i passed on it

i think that would be worth it the A6 cam is more aggressive than the A1 no?

[accordaffair]

No, the A1 and A4 cams are the same, it would be as worthless as turbomaxx's query, only the a6 cam is different, but it isn't different enough to warrant a swap

Focus instead on the a6's IM, the a4's EM, the h23's plenum, ya know?

[NAiL05]

As mentioned already not worth it. THe only reason I would buy a spare a6 cam is if I needed something to get sent out to regrind and still needed the car to DD.
