Fueling for cam

I talked to the guys from hamilton today about a cam, and they recommended going to bigger sticks than my 90s b/c i wouldn't have enough fuel for it and the twins. Anyone out there running a hamilton, helix, or maxxspool with 90s?

How were you fuel wise tho, smoke and clear up, or no smoke? What cp3 setup and electronics you have?

You don't need sticks for a cam to work.... That is kinda dumb advice really. People swap cams in stock trucks to get better spool up and better EGTs on them.

Thanks, I found that kind of weird myself, they said it'd clear up all my smoke and i'd be out of fuel. So it'll give me a quicker spool, lower egts a bit, and won't effect my fuel correct?

It probably won't clear it all up, but it will help. My translation would be the cam will allow you to put more fuel to the motor. Out of fuel is a relative term. My truck was making 1K wheel and it has no smoke after the boost came on. You could say i was out of fuel, but it was still making crazy power. More fuel made more HP after the 1K runs.

Not changing the fueling and you have less smoke by changing the turbo or cam or so on means that the motor is working more efficiently.

That puts things in a lot better perspective and makes a lot more sense. Does the cam effect timing at all?
