N52 cam

Curious if there is any update on running the N52 exhaust cam on the N55. I saw some success of one person doing it but can't find much on anyone else trying it out. I've searched the forum and came up with nothing. Any info on this?

Yep that's the one I've seen. I'm curious why more people aren't doing it. I feel like it's pretty inexpensive relative to the gains. Pair it with PS2 and you're starting to make some real power for less than 5k

There was a much longer discussion about this on another forum a while back, seems like the consensus was that the gains were from a more aggressive re-tune and not the cam swap.

Yeah I just found that and have been reading on it for like 30 minutes now lol. Kind of a bummer but good thing is, I didn't attempt it haha.
