Upgrading Your Ride: Truck Norris Cam Kit Installation Guide

That’s a solid improvement! But what are the trade-offs? Anyone notice a difference in daily drivability?

Great question! Some users have reported a drop in low-end torque. So while you gain high-end power, you might lose a bit of that low-end grunt, especially noticeable in heavy loads.

I think the trade-offs are manageable. The overall improvement in engine responsiveness is worth it! Plus, you can always adjust your driving habits.

Exactly! Has anyone experienced the installation process, though? Any tips or tricks to share?

Installation’s a bit tricky but definitely doable! Make sure to have all the right tools and maybe watch a few tutorial videos beforehand. Always helps to have a buddy around too!

Is there a bump in noise after installation? I’ve heard mixed reviews about how loud it gets! I prefer a more subtle improvement to avoid drawing too much attention.

There can be an increase in engine noise, but many enjoy the more aggressive sound! It’s a trade-off, but you can also consider using quieter mufflers if needed.

That’s true! Sometimes more noise can be a badge of honor in the truck community, right?

Haha, exactly! It’s like the louder your truck, the better! Of course, it needs to perform as well, so I guess it’s about finding that balance.

I wonder if different engine types respond differently to the Truck Norris cam kit. Would love to hear experiences from various engine setups.

I’ve got a V8, and the improvement was night and day! But I’m curious about V6 setups as well. Anyone with similar experiences?

Nice! I’d definitely love to see a head-to-head comparison video between different setups and their results.

I just installed the Truck Norris cam kit and am experiencing a rough idle. Has anyone else had this issue?

Check your timing settings! A misaligned timing can definitely cause a rough idle. Make sure to reset it after installation.

I’ve read that incorrect valve adjustments can also lead to rough idling. Make sure everything is set to spec!

I’m curious about the symptoms of a backfiring issue. Is this something common after installing the cam kit?

Yes, backfiring can occur. It often indicates an air-fuel mixture problem. Double-check your injectors and MAF sensor.

Has anyone faced power loss at higher RPMs? I’ve heard this could be related to cam timing.

Definitely check your cam gear alignment. A slight misalignment can affect performance significantly.

I’m sure it says in the manual, but can anyone remind me if a new tune is necessary after this upgrade?
