I-1000, 5.7 hemi, cam swap, custom tune needed?
Posted: Sat Dec 02, 2017 8:53 pm
Hello! I am a proud owner of a 2009 Jeep GC Overland with a 5.7L Hemi - K&N CAI, Borla Cat-back Exhaust, and running a Diablo 91 Octane Tune with my I-1000!
I recently ended up having some trouble with a misfire on my #8 cylinder, and after tearing the head apart, found I have a bad lifter that has caused damage to the camshaft. The OEM lifter replacements are already ordered, but as for the camshaft: Instead of just replacing with an OEM part, I've decided I want to upgrade it (adding about 75hp) with a COMP Cams 201-424-17 camshaft (as well as new springs to accommodate the increased lift, and larger exhaust headers from an 09 Jeep SRT model).
My question to you is: Will the Diablo 91 octane canned tune i have installed (or any of the pre-loaded tunes on my I-1000 for that matter), work with the different camshaft or will I need a custom tune? If a custom tune will be necessary, how much will it cost me / how do I request one?
