If you change the cam, you will also have to change the ECM and possibly parts of the fuel injection.

Griff is right----also, you might try getting ahold of RMbuilder/Bob Madara of Marine Kinetics in New York. He does this kind of stuff for boaters all the time, is very knowledgable and can probably tell you the cam you're asking about as well as help you with the pro's & con's about your project, etc. His phone number is (585) 654-8583

As KAAMA said - contact RMBuilder, he's great to deal with!

By the way - Welcome to OSO IMP Tompa!
