cams
I have a stock 98 mustang gt with 40 series flowmasters. I dont no anything about cams but i would love to get some. I was wanting all the basic information on them. I was wondering where and what kind to get. Also how much would it cost to install them and how mcuh hp and tq i will get. Also will it make my car sound any better and louder thanks.
Talk to Brian or Bob at Texas Hot Rods. Brian expecially (he is the owner) he can tell you everythying you need to know. I can't think of the new ones he has been selling, but they have been out performing the patriot cams. (877)50-STANG
cams on a NPI car with the stock heads/intake is going to be a waste of time IMO.
save up some more cash and do a NPI swap with some aftermarket cams. On the stock unported NPI heads you will be lucky to see a few whp.

PI cams and PI intake (on the stock unported heads) will give you some nice gains. Not a waste of money, especially since you could probably get used PI cams and intake for a couple hundred bucks at the most.

I was at THR the last two days you should go with patriot Stage 2 heads with VT Cams stage 2 blower cams if you gonna make it a forced induction car

We are a bit off price range here, the guy asked about some cams, not putting a blower on with a built engine

The gains are still going to be fairly minimal until he can replace the NPI heads either way. I don't agree that the only way to go is aftermarket heads (none of them really flow THAT well, and the stock heads are capable of 600+ with the correct setup) but he should definatly at least setup to some PI ones before doing much to the car.
you might want to get book building a 4.6/5.4 on dyno i just got it and it gives some GREAT comparisons on cams with your engine...
so far from what i read it in, have a cam that matches you heads/ mode of driving (daily driving and your RPM band) bigger doesnt always mean better because the 2v can only flow so much =/ reguardless of how much duration and lift you want it can only suck/exhaust so much air.
