Can I put a cam in a stock engine?
Registered. You can’t swap just the cam and nothing else. Not counting the fact that sticking in a big cam in a stock engine and it running worse due to a mismatch with cylinder head and intake airflow, at the very least you MUST swap the springs.
Will a cam add horsepower?
Performance cams increase the duration and timing of the valve openings during the engine stroke, increasing horsepower and making your car accelerate more quickly. You’ll idle slightly rougher with a performance cam, but get a throaty rumble that’s desirable for some gearheads, depending on your vehicle.
How much horsepower does a aftermarket cam add?
Other cams can add as much as 50 HP or more, but the more power you get from a cam, the higher up the powerband the power usually starts. If you have a 224/224 cam (instead of my 205/212), you may have to wait until 2500 or 3000 RPM to get power, but it will be more.
Do K&N filters ruin engines?
K&N filters will not damage the engine internals but they can damage or at least coat the Mass Air Flow sensor if your car has one and most cars now do. The oil that the K&N filter is soaked in can separate and contaminate the wires of the MAF.
Are K&N filters bad for engine?
The rate of airflow affects engine performance, and the K&N filter abandons the paper setting and uses a more porous entry point, an oil-based foam material. But this has the obvious disadvantage of allowing some dirt and impurities in, which can cause long-term damage to the engine.
Should air filters be oiled?
Remember to liberally apply oil to the filter. The oil’s purpose is to prevent dirt and debris from passing through. Failing to use enough oil is counterproductive to the filter’s job.
