how to roller cam swap f150 for better performance?
so, a while back I decided to swap my stock cam on my 2004 F150 for a roller cam and it was like night and day. at first, I was super intimidated. like, I watched a ton of YouTube videos, hoping to become a cam swap expert overnight. But honestly, it was pretty chill once I got into it.
I remember my buddy came over to help. we were under the hood like a couple of mad scientists, except we probably looked more like mechanics who skipped class. the best part was feeling that power gain as soon as we cranked it up. It was like I unleashed a beast.
And then, I made the mistake of thinking I could just slap in any roller cam, but nah, you gotta match it to your setup. so, what cam did you guys pick? what should I do next for even more power?
I ve tried swapping a roller cam in my 2006 F150 up in Oregon and man what a difference it made I had a buddy help me out and we ran into some snags but the end result was worth it
Pulled way better on those mountain roads now I just want to see how much more I can squeeze out of it
I remember when I swapped my cam in my 2010 F150 up in Idaho. It was a game changer felt like I was driving a totally different truck.
I’ve noticed a serious boost in torque and love how it handles now. Definitely worth the effort.
I ve done a cam swap on my old F150 back in Idaho and man the difference was wild. It woke up the truck like you wouldn’t believe. Just make sure you have the right tools cuz it’s a bit of a pain.
So worth it for the sound though. It’s a whole new beast.
I ve always loved my F150 but swapping to a roller cam was a game changer up in Michigan. Smooth ride and way more power when pulling.
Honestly thought it was overhyped but wow it really does make a difference. If you’re on the fence just go for it.
I ve always been into trucks and the F150 has been my favorite since growing up in Michigan. Swapping the cam is such a game changer I have felt the difference in my buddy’s ride.
Just gotta watch the tuning after it’s done though.
I ve done it and wow what a difference on my 2005 F150 in Texas. Felt like a new truck.
Honestly the install can be a bit tricky but worth it for the sound.
swapping a roller cam in my old F150 in Ohio was a game changer the extra torque is unreal
I’ve read tons about how it helps with throttle response too but man the sound is what really gets ya
the overall vibe just feels more alive now
I ve thought about this a lot I remember cruising down the roads in Texas and feeling like my F150 could use a little more roar you know I have heard that a roller cam swap can really wake it up
just make sure you re ready for the extra maintenance that comes with it it can be a fun project if you re into that sort of thing
man I have a 2011 F150 and did the roller cam swap last summer in my buddy’s garage in Illinois and wow the difference is insane it’s like night and day now the throttle response is way better I’ve noticed I can pick up speed quicker and the sound is just mean but you gotta tune it right after or it’ll run rough just my two cents.
Man I remember when I did my first roller cam swap on my old F150 back in Texas. The sound of that engine was unreal. I ve noticed a crazy improvement in throttle response too.
It really wakes up these trucks. Just make sure to pick the right cam otherwise it could turn your ride into a sluggish beast instead of a powerhouse.
I ve been thinkin about doing a roller cam swap on my 2010 F150 down in Texas for ages. Heard it really wakes up the engine and gives it that extra grunt.
Gotta say though it sounds kinda daunting and I feel like I need more tools than I have. I know a buddy who did it and he’s been raving about the difference. Just hope I don’t end up with a rolling disaster.
I remember when I swapped my cam in my '03 F150 in my garage in Michigan. It was a game changer. The sound of that engine just felt right. I have to say though some patience is needed with tuning.
Totally worth it for that extra kick on the highway.
I remember the first time I did a cam swap in my buddy’s F150 up in Michigan it was wild. The power increase was noticeable right off the bat. I’ve seen so many people hesitant to try it thinking it’s too hard but honestly if you can turn a wrench you’re halfway there.
Nothing like the sound of a new cam roaring to life. It’s like giving your truck a whole new personality. Just make sure you get the tuning right or you might be in for a headache later on.
