Cam shaft strictly for mileage??
Does a new cam shaft make sense strictly from a mileage perspective? I know its costly, but looking at putting 500K on this truck. Thoughts?

So I guess the questoin is how much MPG gain are you truly looking at real world? And is this in conjunction with say a max mileage module or will they negate each other?

why would the module negate the cam? its controlling rail pressure/timing... cam is creating more air.

Talk to Don above, he sells one of the most popular cams around, the Helix cams at http://f1diesel.com/.
Here is a old thread I found re: cams at competion diesel com. http://www.competitiondiesel.com/for...hp/t-9358.html
I've read that they also lower the peak at which you have max torque, help spooling the turbo, help egts, and can help mileage. The only reason that we have the cam that we do is for emissions reasons.
