What is the largest cam I can install on a M6 ?????? Wondering what size cam I can run with a stock internal bolt on car with or w/o tuning?? Also... What do I need to replace when installing a new cam? New springs, hardened push rods.... Anything else? Thanks!

Re: What is the largest cam I can install on a M6 ?????? The G5X-2 fits and its a 232/240 112...but its very tight, and PTV needs to be checked...but putting the biggest cam in your motor that will fit may not be the "perfect" cam for you. I saw a post by Rapid Motorsports that showed a 1hp gain by using a G5X-2 cam over an XE-R 230/230 with stock heads. Sure that was only one dyno and its certainly not gospel, although it's something to think about.

Re: What is the largest cam I can install on a M6 ?????? No clue man, i just slid the cam in, and spun the motor over a few times by hand and then prayed and hit the key, I wasnt too worried, i got a friend with a comp custom grind 230/230 .59ish/,58ish i think on a 112 with stock heads and another friend with the TSP 231/237 on heads that have been shaved down a litte.
