Has anyone ever swapped out the cam in their 03 V6? If so what does it sound like, need anything else when all said and done? What were the cam specs?

Well....depending on the duration of the cam, it sounds like any V8 with a Cam, just alittle more higher pitch/raspy exhaust note, but at idle it sounds almost identical to a V8. I think you are going to need to upgrade the valve springs, and going want to get a tune. Other than that, should be it.
