Thats one thing i was worried about as well hearing all these people complain about low end loss. I was debating whether to do gears first or after the cam install to compensate for the loss?

Here is a copy of the dyno sheet after the Hot Rod install. It picked up 29 HP and 11 ft lbs of torque on a Mustang dyno. HP and torque across the entire range improved. I have zero driveability issues and I get 25 MPG on the interstate. My idle is set at 750 RPM's and sounds very good with the L/T headers and O/R prochamber. There are other cams that make more power. However, there are other cams that make less power than the Hot Rod's. I have no regrets going with the Hot Rod's.

I love my hot rod cams as well. I have 0 driveability issues and get compliments on the sound often. You can really feel the difference in the upper RPM's. I picked up a significant amount of power with my mods listed and the cams. My car dynoed at 331rwhp and 333rwt on a mustang dyno.

Sometimes on this site my sig photo becomes huge. I removed it, thanks for the compliment though.
blac,
It looks we have just about the same mods except I have the stock mufflers still. I wonder if mufflers at our HP level makes a difference. If not, you got me by 5 HP! LOL
