I would be pretty dissappointed with the rwhp gain! I mean, thats one hell of an exhaust upgrade! It seems the only way to go is supercharged!

The Hot rod cams were one of the options that I was looking into. I heard they sound great, but 18rwp isnt as much as I thought. It isnt bad though dont get me wrong. The other choice was the Comp Thumper cams. I've heard some sound clips and they also sound pretty good. Anyone try out the thumper cams by comp yet?

Hey SirKnightTG, do you have corsa exhaust? If so how do you like it? I've been trying to choose between those and the Flowmaster kit.

Had a set installed last week and the sound is "nasty". I usually keep my Stang in the garage during the week, but can't stop driving it because of the sound. I gained a lot of rwhp as well.

There's a huge sticky write-up on the 4.6 section on how to install them yourself.

So the comp thumper cams are the better of the two it sounds like.
