Cam and injector upgrades - Rig Wrench - 11-22-2016
Does anyone know if interchangeable parts in the 15 liter x family and possible gains?
Like a QSX cam and injector, or piston with possible lower compression. I'm contemplating a performance oriented cm870 build, lookin to see what's out there, I'd like to get compression down, maybe a better valve/jake cam too. Not lookin for the most fuel efficiency necessarily. Just more performance, kind of a toy.
Thanks

Cm570 Pistons are a lower comp I believe

Don't mean to hijack, but would 570 pistons in an demandated 871 help lower EGTs?

Not really, that comes down to correct boost and timing combined with minimal back pressure . Slightly lower comp would allow higher boost pressure to help maintain a better AFR . Have to be pushing some serious hp to run into egt problems with a vgt and stock Pistons with an 871
