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


Good to hear other people are thinking the same. Compression pressure will be a little higher but with good gas quality and octane I don't think there will be any problem.
