I ended up going with the 127350's.

listen what this guy gets with just muffler deletes.
Alot goes into the final sound at idle, the cam's are just one piece of the puzzle.

Man that is sweet music to my ears. Just the sound I'm looking for. I have a set of DR sitting in the garage waiting for some custom valve covers to arrive. With my muffler deletes I hope I get the same sound.

Mayo that's awesome, sounds so good. Flowmasters sound great with cams too. I unfortunately had to take mine out after I installed the blower, too much trumpeting.

I definitely agree! Cams are definitely only part of the equation, but that's why I'm so happy I managed to score such a deal on my exhaust set up, now I'm finally ready to go cammed! I was just thinking it'd be nice to run some cams now that I wouldn't have to swap out later. But with what you said, you're right, it's going to be a loooong time. May as well just go with a decent set now that I'll enjoy. Thanks Mayo! Good sounding video as well. I know you've got rockers but that's not your car right?

Very nice! You'll be happy with them, I've heard good things about those cams. Definitely looking forward to your build!

Nope, not mine...yet
I sooooooooooooooooo want to pull the trigger on those deletes but i'm afraid with my shorties they may get loud...which might be a good thing!
My violators sound good, but they are alittle quiet at idle...what to do right?
Yo Wildcat get up a video of that when you get it together, should sound noice!
If I could wish one mod for every stang owner is would be cam's.
It's one of those win/win mods. More power, with more personality.

Cams

I agree Mayo. Cams is a smile on your face mod all the way around. I really like my shorties as well. Ive gotten a lot of the "that sounds badass" head nods at traffic lights with the cams. Plus that little extra surge you gain in the high rpm ranges is nice. It's like the motor was just begging for that extra "lobe" all along!

For real. Here's how I see it, a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8....How much exhaust do you think is coming out of that little motor anyway, LOL. Kidding of course...
