    Ive come across many 6nz engines that are supposed to be the be all end all but none have out pulled my MXS with twin turbos . I love my MXS Cat , i just took it out of an 05 western star and put it in my 13 Western Star . The useless DD15 detroit is now resting against a tree. Thats about the only thing its good for

    If you're looking to build massive HP or torque somewhere down the road than you may want to throw a cam in now but if I were you, I wouldn't bother. You can get more than enough without swapping cams. I'm tuned with a bigger turbo and putting down over 9xxHP/2000lbs of torque at 1600RPM. I have no desire to go any further. You might feel differently though. There are pullers running so much more!

    Never heard anyone brag about fuel economy with the C-16. I think better quality flow matched injectors is better ROI vs camshaft and usually lands happier owner. I think @swaan tried cam in past and never really liked it.
