Thats what I have in my dually. Would spool my silver bullet about 300 rpm sooner. Never drove the truck enough after it to do any mileage comparisons, not that that truck would be a very good yard stick anyway.

There is an updated version of the 181/210 that has a narrower LSA vs. what I have, but they have one size bigger thats still a drop in cam, the 188/210. Call Hamilton or Colt Cams and get the full scoop on them.

firgod4

so i can just drop in either of those in my truck without having to do anything else? and where is a good place to get one?

Tate,
I had the Helix 2 with a silver 66, started to spool at 1700.
Where does yours start to spool with big stick.
I ask because I am looking at this cam also.

Blueboy

If you haven't had any stock taken from head or block the
181/210 is a drop in, will need heaver valve springs.
Call Larry in DTR store and ask him if he can get you one.

Big Deezul

or just deal directly with Hamilton

I have a big stick in my truck also....love that thing! spools faster and egts are lower. one of the best mods I have done

DIESELWRKS

been almost 10k miles with mine since rebuild. can say much on spool I changed turbo's same time did have a 62/14 now have a 64/14. but I dont have egt issues, or alot of black smoke compared to the old turbo without cam.

Tate

Was about the same. It would light around 2k without the cam.

Cool sounds like im pretty much sold did you see any gains in horsepower or torque? And how much did it cost overall?

vp dually

The 188/210 is for big rpm's over 4250 or so.
