Hey guys,

I just installed the Ford Hot Rod Racing Cams yesterday. The only other mod I have done so far is a cat back borla atak exhaust. After the install I tuned to 93 Octane and for some reason it just doesnt sound as aggressive as I though it would have.

My questions is, what should I mod next if anything to make those cams really thump? Maybe long tubes? I do plan on throwing some 4.10's on in a few weeks but I just dropped $750 + $400 on the cams and install.

Long tube hands down! Can you post a video? I've been really itching to get cams installed on my 2010 as well.

Yeah I will post up a video.

First off, define aggressive...are you talking idle lobe?
If so you can try a couple of things.
Adjust your idle with your handheld. Around 700-750rpm
Produces the ideal lobe with my dr cams.
Try different octane tunes. While mine is a beast with
A 93 octane tune, the 87 produces the most lobe at idle.
Hope this helps!

Yes, I'm talking about the idle lobe. I have the SF3/X3 tuner and I was not the one that tuned it. My mechanic did. Im running 93 octane fuel right now so would that be a problem switching the tune to 87 on 93 fuel? I'm not that familier with adjusting my idle as I have never used the tuner.

Just talked with the bama rep, he said my rpm's are set at 775. I will be giving your recommendations a try man. thanks!

Hell yeah!! I lowered the idle RMP's and now my car sounds sick while shaking! Im going to keep tweeking it little by little.

Glad to hear that it worked out for you man can't wait to see the video.

Congrats on the new mod! Did the cams affect drive-ability at all... particularly in the low RPM range - any noticeable loss of low-end torque? What gears do you currently have?

Twist154

thanks man! I felt no low end loss at all, and no difference in drive ability. I have the 373's now but will be installing 410's in the next few weeks.
