I think it’s a good idea. I know the recommendation when putting a 6.1 cam in a 5.7 is to advance it 8 degrees (from the factory installed centerline, not from the LSA). I believe the 6.1 cam has an LSA of 117 and has an ICL of 119 or 121 (I’ve seen both published) so it’s actuall 2-4 degrees retarded (I believe for purely emissions reasons). Seems most mild engines respond with advancing the cam in the 4 degree range so put in in at 113. I’m doing a 6.1 cam into my Ram and that’s where I’m going to install it. I say go for it
