    I have a 6nz and am trying to improve jake. My MBN has much stronger jake. I put a set of MBN jake heads on and just made jake louder not stronger, I was wondering if I could put MBN cam in 6nz to improve jake performance to MBN level.

    What did you set them to? Lash has a large affect on holding power.

    Does the MBN have higher compression pistons?

    Don't run the mbn cam won't get as good of mpg with it. And it has a little extra lobe on it for that extra shot of fuel for there emissions. The comp is a little higher in a mbn. Got both 6nz and mbn and both jakes are noise makers and that's about it. The mbn does pull a little better down low.

    Set the lash to .035, that will help. Jakes web listing says .037 but too loose will make the jake weaker.

    yeah, what DDS says. I set mine at .034 that seems to work well.
