I have a hamilton street cam. If you install this on a stock motor chances are you will soon pop your head gasket. =)
It knocks a couple hundred degrees off the EGT up top and helps spool the turbo a tiny bit faster.
Its usually in the top of the rev range where these cams show their stuff.

Why/ how will you pop the head gasket on a stock truck? Wouldnt a hopepd up engine make more pressure, and be more subject to blowing the gasket?

I think that I read on a forum that they are different. I can try to find the info if you like. Different timing events.
