[QUOTE="Vash, post: 1852973, member: 1159"] You definitely don’t have stock fuel injectors unless you mean what was provided with the supercharger (usually 48 or 60lb). I’d recommend checking with whoever you’re going to use to update the tune for your truck to discuss your needs to be sure that installing cams are your best bang for buck. You don’t want to screw up your street driving characteristics in search of more low-end power especially since that’s typically not an issue with a positive displacement supercharger. Most of the guys that have talked about installing aftermarket cams did so along with a 6.6L build and/or ported heads etc. Regardless, you’ll need a good tuner. The stock Raptor 6.2L cams are already more aggressive than those used in the Super Duty trucks. Since you already have a Whipple, I’d look at the comparative costs of upgrading your head unit to the latest Gen 4 which has improved rotor profiles and casting of the case. It’ll net more boost at a given pulley size relative to older generations and it negates old claims that the Roush/Eaton 2.3L supercharger has more lowend power. I’m not saying a cam only upgrade won’t do anything, but make sure you discuss with a good tuner or performance shop to make sure you’re getting the gains or changes you’re looking for based on that upgrade route. Depending on how much boost you’re already running, moving peak power down lower in RPM may just increase your chance of grenading something in your drivetrain especially if you get wheel hop or any other driveline shock. Not sure if you can see it in my pic, but the Gen 3 and 4 2.9L Whipple has slightly angled ribs cast into the top of the case. That’s probably the easiest way to tell other than a serial number.
