Default Cams are in baby!!!

So I went to our storage unit to look at my dads new wheels he got for the T/A. And i was just startin my car cuz i missed it soo much lol. And i noticed it idled kinda wierd but i didn't pay any attention to it cuz its been in storage for a while and just thought that was normal. Well i got outta the car and noticed some mud on my tires. I asked my dad where the mud came from and he told me it was probably from when the cams got put in...

TOTALLY got me by surprise cuz i didn't think theyd be put in till spring!

But its been dyno tuned (MUSTANG DYNO! ) and everything and i had to end up getting a Sniper tuner for it, it was crazy....heres the before and after graphs. Im really happy with the gains....

Peaked at 229hp 251tq

After:

Peaked at 257hp 264tq

Overall im happy...i wasn't expecting high numbers on the mustang dyno i was just lookin for overall gain. Im stoked to drive it, its rainin today so can't do that lol.

Thanks for lookin guys!

Congrats man I'm jealous! What are you talkin about you can't go out in the rain? You can break traction easier that way!

whats with the first graph??? That graph just looks like its trippin on acid. lol but nice gains. Love how a mustang dyno doesnt give our cars ANY credit at all. And how much did the install end up costing???

You would only be losing power in the midrange, not so much on the top end. But then again midrange power isn't important, just peak numbers

What is your idle at? Strange you didn't notice the chop of the new cams. That's too bad...

Congrats on the new cams though!
