aftermarket cam
 

anyone have any first hand experience with the hamilton 180/210 towing cam.i wonder what kind of power and mileage gains are to be had with just the cam swap. i am lookin for more power and mileage. i have a 2002 2500 24 valve with an auto trans edge E.Z. box,
j-hook,mbrp dual exhaust, volant cold air box, CFM intake and FASS 90 fuel HD pump. my ideas are to upgrade the ez box to a CTS or CS (65 horse ez to a 120 hp cs),stainless exhaust manifold(not sure if t-3 or t-4 foot is better, some cnc porting on the head for better flow, turbo and or injectors. kinda at a cross roads
BUT I MUST PASS EMISSIONS

upgrade your box like you want to when the newness of power wears off you will get more mpgs, then add a small set of injectors again once the newness of power wears off mileage will go up. you want a t-3 foot because thats what your turbo is. what emissions do you have to pass? I would say even just upgrading to a hx35 over your hy35 will add some power. a cam is a timely process and not cheap upgrade for the power you will gain unless your tearing the motor apart already. head work is minimal till your going for all out power to pick up that tenth of a second. So what I would do.
1.upgrade your box to the cts.
2.depending on your state as in what you can get away with for a turbo a hx 35 and 40-65 hp if they are picky or a nice super b and a set of 90-110hp injectors.
3.exhaust manifold 3 piece t-3

^^^ yup

with all my mods in my sig, who thinks a cam would be a good buy? im getting my turbo(64/71/14) from Diesel dawgs as soon as my tax return hits my account. any thoughts on cam? im looking at colt cam stage 3.

That's what I put in my truck and I'm pretty happy with it.
