Default Comp Cams - 2011-2012 Mustang 5.0L Coyote Camshafts - AmericanMuscle.com

It's that time! We've gotten literally hundreds of inquiries about the 2011 & 2012 5.0L Coyote Mustang cams. The wait is finally over! They're in-stock and shipping. Can't wait to bolt these up to our 2011 Automatic to see what it'll do to our current 10.43 @ 130mph. We'll have dyno results and more soon!



Want some specs on them in the mean time?

Comp Cams Stage 1 XFI NSR Camshafts (11-12 GT / 5.0L Coyote)

• Advertised Duration: 267
• Valve Lift Int: .492
• Valve Lift Exh: .453
• Duration @ .050 Int: 220
• Duration @ .050 Exh: 223
• Lobe Separation: 126
• RPM Operating Range: 1500 to 6800


Comp Cams Stage 2 XFI NSR Camshafts (11-12 GT / 5.0L Coyote)

• Advertised Duration: 275
• Valve Lift Int: .492
• Valve Lift Exh: .453
• Duration @ .050 Int: 228
• Duration @ .050 Exh: 231
• Lobe Separation: 126
• RPM Operating Range: 1700 to 7000


Comp Cams Stage 3 XFI NSR Camshafts (11-12 GT / 5.0L Coyote)

• Advertised Duration: 283
• Valve Lift Int: .492
• Valve Lift Exh: .453
• Duration @ .050 Int: 236
• Duration @ .050 Exh: 239
• Lobe Separation: 126
• RPM Operating Range: 1900 to 7200

None of these are spring required cams, however ALL OF THEM need the phaser limiter kit, which we'll have up on the site soon.

Stage 1 & Stage 2 Cams are compatible with stock gears and stock converter, while the Stage 3 cams need a 3.73 or steeper rear gear ratio and long tube headers. Converter will probably be a good idea in Stage 3 as well, but we'll know for sure once we install them in ours!

So....does the phaser limiter kit get rid of the Ti-VCT? If that's the case, no deal.

parchisi, you'll order a tune to make it sound like you have big cams but no hp gains, but you wont buy actuall cams that increase power because you'll lose your ability to make that sound and you wonder why people are calling you a ricer?

It does not eliminate VCT at all. It simply limits the angle at which variable cam timing can adjust to. This is necessary for piston-to-valve clearance, when running larger cams. It was common in the 05-10 3V Mustangs, as well. It will make an ACTUAL lope, and provide tons of top-end power, so you can get rid of your cammed idle tune for a real cammed idle, with perfect driveability!

Hope this helps!

Chris

Chris, I guess I wasn't 100% to what extent the phase limiter would limit the VCT. Thanks for clearing that up.

And Mishri, my problem (which turned out not to be a problem) is if you lost the VCT. Sure, you may gain top end but you'll lose drivability and power through the rest of the powerband, which to me would be a dealbreaker. Ti-VCT does a lot more than allow a cool sounding idle. And ACTUAL lope is determined by intake/exhaust valve overlap, which in the 5.0 is controlled extensively by the Ti-VCT...the exhaust and intake cams are controlled INDEPENDENTLY (the i part of Ti-VCT). I don't have a problem with these cams at all. I had a question and that's why I asked.

I'm also sorry your lack of understanding has prodded a baseless attack on me. Nobody has ever called me a ricer (that I'm aware of). I don't have the cammed tune, I was just defending those people who might want to do it. Look at my signature of cars and mods, and please, call me a ricer.

Not a problem! I also agree that the cam tune is a simple solution for someone looking for a little extra sound. Obviously, not everyone is going to be able to drop $1500-2000 on cams/install/phaser limiters. Looks like nobody is currently selling the ghost cam file, anymore. So it might not be an option. :/

Chris, why do you think that there isn't anyone selling the cammed tune anymore?

I know I'm not Chris, but two things I've heard is that there may be some issues with Ford not wanting tuners to implement the cammed tune, and that there are some missing parameters from SCT.

Yeah. I know several people close to the situation (at Ford & private tuners). As much as people yap about it, I believe it falls in two areas; Ford's trackey on the new Boss, and BAMA and SCT can't get the cars to stop stalling. However, if you were fortunate enough to get the tune from Lund Racing, your car won't stall. Lund was able to imbed hidden parameters to fix that. Needless to say, my car doesn't stall with its "ricer" tune
