I have a 1999 F250 with the 6.8L V10 in it and I'm trying to find performance cams and all the topend stuff and I can't seem to find any of it anywhere anyone have any ideas on where I can find the parts I'm looking for

 

I think you might have a harder time than most with that one, as the '99 V10 was the only year made without the PI heads. I'm moving this one to the 6.8L V10 forum where you should get some better replies.

 

I thought the PI and NPI could use the same cams? whats the difference between the two?

 

Perhaps they can, I was assuming that the flow differences between the two would necessitate a different cam.

 

Thats nothing porting wont take care of. I was speaking of geometry of the cam, follower, and lash adjuster.

 

Almost forgot.

Yes I know where to get all of your top end parts.

 

Where at I new then very soon. I dropped a valve need to redo the whole top end and need the truck running ASAP

 

Do you have an email address so I can send you all the info?

 

Zakarehamrick@hotmail.comAnd thank u so much

 

Email sent.

 

A few technical points:

The '99 has non-PI heads, but PI heads can be bolted on as long as you take care of a few things.

1) Need the PI intake.
2) Compression will go up, somewhere near 10.25:1 if I recall correctly. That needs to be dealt with by using a custom tune. I think Mike at 5-star can help, he did a PI head swap on a '99 V10 already, so he has a baseline to start with.

A few other points:

No one makes cams for the V10 - Comp Cams I believe used to have blanks that they would machine to your specs, but I don't think they have blanks anymore according to some people here who've tried that route.

 

This isnt true.

 

Accidental Post!

 

could I also have this info?
