Comp cams stage 3 cams for my car. I don't know why but I got the recent 5.0 or muscle mustang magazine and they did that cam swap and with basic bolt on and with the cams it made 477 rwhp. So if it can pick up 50 rwhp for me that would be pretty good for 1400 bucks.

Is that 1400 total? Or is that 1400 plus labor?

1400 plus labor. But picking up 50 rwhp N/A I think it's worth it. Maybe more when I use the nitrous.

477rw on motor is stout. You need h/c/i and a blower to make that kinda power with a Foxbody. I could deal with that kinda power N/A. :) I bet the install with by pricey though.

Yes sir. After you do that, I bet the most common question you get from people will be "is that a Lund lope tune?" haha.

If it actually does have a lope to it. Most new 5.0's with aftermarket cams in it doesn't have a lope.

I see Clint is online, maybe he can PM a quote for the cams swap. Hint hint nudge nudge

The cams only contributed 58 hp to the deal (419 before cams, 477 after). The price almost doubled with labor at GH. The return isn't nearly worth almost $3000. That's the better part of a Procharger and the returns for the blower are a good bit more than 58 hp.

That would be cool if it idled smooth like stock. Very stealth!

That's GH man. Maybe Truestreet can offer something better. You never know.

That's what I was thinking. If the labor was cheap enough, it might be worth it. Otherwise a blower is the best bang for the buck.

As previously stated, Truestreet did a car with only an axleback and a Kennebell blower and made 608rw. Stock midpipe, headers, intake etc. That is tough to beat.

Y'all obviously never changed cams on a 4 valve mod motor! LOL! They might do it cheaper, but it won't be cheap to be sure. It's a lot of work. And yes, you will be able to tell it has cams. Stage 2 is obvious, Stage 3 is even more so.

I haven't heard any new 5.0's with comp cams just some custom grind ones.

Let me get with Tim tomorrow and we will get you a price. Have not done cams on a new 5.0 yet, but yes it is a very very extensive install on these cars to be done properly. I would HIGHLY recommend doing the billet oil pump gears while in there. One will already have the chains off, entire front engine apart etc. Only a couple more hours labor to properly install the billet gears. Look for a pm tomorrow before the end of the day, we are in the process of switching phones, internet etc at the shop over to the new building so might not be till the end of the day.

Keep in my mind they had boss intake and long tubes, but yeah I'm interested in this also, 477 na Can't be beat. And with nitrous, that's some unreal power.

Those stage 3 cams will lope quite a bit. Remember that you lose a massive amount of timing when you install AM cams, I believe a good 25 or more degrees. Stock allows about 50. Also your low end power will be gone completely and it will be high end only. Looking forward to what you choose to do. IMO, I would only do cams with a blower. Just me though :P

As I told you on the phone, Toby is a good dude. Between him and Sean, they are both really detailed oriented so it will be done right.

The great thing about TS, is that if you aren't happy with your car at all, you simply call Clint and he'll get you fixed up. He doesn't bullshit in regards to customer service and thats a MAJOR difference between TS and other shops. It's not that there isn't other good shops in town, but TS really goes above and beyond with their service to keep the owner in the loop and not make you feel like they are just taking your money and pushing your car out for the next in line.


I wonder how these cams will sound. Will it idle like stock or lumpy cams? I suppose it could go either way with the 5.0 vtec stuff. lol.
