Quote: I don't necessarily think it's the cam that's noisy, but the lifters that come with the kits. I'll be ordering a set of Topline Hylifts for the next cam.
It's the cam , XE have fast ramps and the valves tend to slam shut.
Think I've lost track of how many times I've heard or seen people have issues with the "state-of-the-art", computer designed, fast-rate-of-lift, if-it's-good-on-paper camshafts available today.
