I have an A cam in my possession but wanted to try the VX cam first. I tried running 2 and then 5 degrees advance on the VX and didn't see a whole lot of improvement. Then I was informed that I would see better results with the VX if I were to retard it to get better upper end power. What I mean is highway power, not off the line high rpm, which won't happen for me as this is an automatic. I wanted something that will help me climbing hills, when I kick it out of OD. So far, I have not found any benefit to the VX at all.
Tell me about the A cam. Will I get a noticable improvement in power over the standard D or my VX (keeping in mind this is an automatic)? For the hour or so it takes to swap out cams, maybe I should put the A cam in.
