Cam phase adjustment - 6.4 SRT 300 ( 2012 ) New Cam - New Tune?
Hi,
I installed a new cam (very mild street grind - comp cams) in my car after the lifter froze up an destroyed the factory one.
I am going to tune the car using the HP Tuner interface. I have not yet accessed the car or investigated this on my own.
Can anyone tell me do you get a "map" or reading in real time of the Cam phasor setting as a function of how the car is being driven?
And, for the sake of discussion, can you re-map this (the cam advance) to anything you may choose?
And, question #3 are there existing "tunes" out there in the world I could reference? Maybe not use them, but maybe see what other people have done? ( I'll gladly share whatever I come up with.)
Thanks!

Interesting - MDS delete - lifter failure?

I?m gonna be updating my file as well to include the pointers from hemi.. I?ll share the file when completed and tested. Oh yes I also added a cam phaser.
Thanks for the dialog. Appreciate it!
I'm interested in your perspective on the lifter failure. Do you think this was directly related to the MDS system? (I did the delete of course). My failure was on # 8 cylinder. To me, and from some of the UTUBE videos I've watched, there is a lot of speculation that the failure relates to poor oiling of the lifter wheel. I'm fully on board with that, as it only gets oiled when the crank flings oil up onto it. To me, it seems the engine has a serious design flaw. DON'T let it idle for extended periods!
When you replaced your lifters, did you upgrade to the Hell CAT lifter? I notice that they have a larger set of roller bearings versus the factory.
I'm very interested in getting into the tuning, and will gladly share any of my efforts!
Thanks again!
