Thanks for the response Jeff. I am kind of understanding what you are saying but I need to read it again, but it is some great info
Now my next question, how does fuel economy play into the picture of more aggressive cams? I know jeep are not ever bound to be fuel efficient but it is nice to get some decent mileage for a jeep
You'll have to forgive me for even mentioning fuel economy . When discussing / planning a high performance engine , fuel economy is often sacrificed for increased power , there are exceptions though , often an "RV" cam used in a larger , heavier RV type vehicle can get you a slight increase in power as well as an improvement in fuel economy if used with a combination of other parts , like exhaust , cold air kit , n' stuff. RV cams generally aren't all that aggressive , just a step up from a stock , emissions friendly cam. My 4.7 isn't all that hard on fuel on the highway , around town with the varying speeds and rpms , stopping and starting , it's a bit thirsty.
