6.2 in a Jeep JK
I'm about to put a 6.2 in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler, its on 1 ton axles, 40s (sometimes 42s and 43s) and I'm looking to get a good cam for it. Of course I want a cam that focus' on torque, but it doesn't necessarily have to. This is my shop jeep and it goes to shows and jeep meets and all, so if it was a little radical, I can deal with that, its not a daily driver. That being said, nothing TOO crazy. I really just want a cam only strong 6.2 that is streetable, wheelable and still sounds healthy (i'm sure it will with any cam).
There is also the possibility of a maggie or whipple in the future for it too (which i'm sure is a different cam profile). Not real sure how this build will play out but I was going to start with a cam'd 6.2 inititally.
Threw a pic of the jeep below.

WS6store has the cam for you! It's the Hi Lift Hot Cam. It is basically the GM Hot Cam with .600 lift instead of .525. Strong low end, bitchin' sound, and easy on the valvetrain.

The cam GM puts in their 480HP LS3 crate engine is the GM Hot Cam that I mentioned above. It has very low lift(.525"). The WS6store cam is the same as the GM cam, EXCEPT it has .600" lift, which results in more power across the band AND has better manners on the low end. And apparently it should do well with ol' Maggie...
The 430HP engine comes with a 204/211, .550/.525, 117LSA cam.

I have a buddy with an LS3/ Maggie swap in his JK. I've been working on the tune for him. He just installed a forged short block after a piston broke in the stock L99. Waiting on headers to start it back up! Keep the stock cam and save up for that Maggie. Best mod he's done to that Jeep.
By the way, how did you like the turbo on the stock 3.6? I think that will be my next build.

My bad! It's the 480HP version that comes with the Hot Cam. The 430HP one comes with a 204/211, .550/.525, 117LSA cam.
The 525HP engine comes with the ASA cam.
