The rumour is that the K8 cams have more lift but less duration than the KLD cams. I suppose since you can run KL cams in a K8, you can run K8 cams in a KL. Either way would do.

Im running the kl03 cams in the k08 engine and have had no problems. k08 cams have different size lobes(some are smaller) and the kl03 cams all the lobes are the same size. <BR>Dave S.<BR>94 GS

if your going to put new cams in, just get them from Colt Cams, my friend got them and he said the car pulls hard all the way to the redline.

I cant tell you if there was any hp gain because at the same time I put on Steve (tec guy) old heads that he had shaved and I ported them. Steve also had 97 kl03 cams sitting around so i put them in. I did gain more hp but i cant tell you if the cams gave more power or how much. When I messured the lobes by what I can tell the k08 and kl03 are the same but on the k08 cams the intake or the exhaust cams cant remember have some lobes that are smaller where on the kl03 all the lobes are the same.<BR>Dave S.<BR>94 GS
