Default Cams for S197 - 2007 GT

Ok guys and gals I have been gone for a bit (sorry for being so absent my job has been kicking my ***!!!). Hopefully I wont disappear this long again for a while!!!!

Alrighty then; I need to get good input from my forum family on cams. Hubby is willing to do a cam job on my pony and I dont even know where to start. He told me to start doing my research and of course you know Ive got to start here!!! Chime in, everyone's input is welcomed, good or bad!!!

BTW, the spoiler is officially out-a-here!!!! Told ya I was gonna do it!!! (sorry for the dirty ride)

Comp cams is the only one to go with...

If you do the cams you really should do the heads as well....Please if you do this keep us posted as i am very interested on how it turns out..

Ford racing has new 3 V heads out as well as a few good aftermarkets..

I have Crower Custom grinds, but similar to the Comp Stage III. 350 rwhp, 329 tq

I shot a video that gives you an idea of what it'll sound like along with a dyno pull at the end. I pulled the car into the garage (about 40 sec into thevideo)so it would do a better job of capturing the bass (it never seems to properly capture it when shot outside) All my other mods are listed in my sig below.

One other thing......I see Thurman is running Kooks LTs, are you running any type of headers? Ive heard its useless to do cams without the headers???? Thoughts here?

I would consider cams without LT headers to be a waste of money.

I would consider cams without LT headers to be a waste of money. 4.10's (or higher) are a must too, but I see you already have that!

Now that's how cams should sound on our cars! How much did they set you back?

Thanks,
