Comp cams 49-410-8

Any one running this camshaft from Comp Cams. Is it worth the money. I am guessing the cam plus the proper length pushrods costs around $400. Do you get better low end power..TOrque? Or is this a high rpm horsepower only gain. I am just wondering any benefits I will have. My explorer is a daily driver with 193,000 miles and I am building a new engine for it. I do a lot of off roading on the weekend. Rock crawling or should I say "lava rock crawling."

Yep, Im running it. No loss in low rpm HP, good pick up above 2500 rpm. Im really pleased with my engine combo.

Is the money worth it? Yes, BUT... only during a rebuild in my opinion. You need to replace all of the valve train during a rebuild on the 4.0 so the only additional cost is the cam. During a rebuild the springs, lifters, pushrods, rockers and shafts all need to be replaced(or should ) so the incremental cost is nil to upgrade the cam.

Do a search on here there are numerous threads about the cam- rocklaurence started the latest one if I remember correctly.
