CAMS?
I am building my engine and I am not sure what cams to use. I have had problems in the past with using a cam that people suggest to be a good cam, and it was, just not what I was looking for. I want the all out biggest cam I cam put in there. If I didn't I wouldn't be doing all this other work. I want the car to RUN!!!!. I am installing a forged rotating assembly with 10.8:1 compression, rings filed for nos, stage 3 heads from livernouis, headers, off road h-pipe, injectors, mass air, fuel pump....ect.
If anybody has any suggestions on cams and a good tuner?

Just call comp and tell them what your looking for. They will hook you up. I went with VT and was very happy with them but they are under a different name now and I can't think of it off the top of my head. Someone will chime in though.

The fact that you're building an engine and have to ask these questions is very troublesome. You should know that a custom ground cam is best. Makes me wonder if you're building an engine or just dreaming about it. Don't let you dream turn into a nightmare.

or maybe I've built other engines but not a 4.6 and I am looking for opinions of others. I have just pulled the engine and will be ordering my rotating assembly and heads this week.
The reason I am so hesitant about ordering a my cams is because when I built my Harley engine I was told by several people that the EV-27 cam was the one to get. Well I wasn't happy with the power of the cam so I installed a EV-59 and YES I BUILT THIS ENGINE!!!!
Since, the cams for my mustang are 600 bucks I don't want to do this twice!
Before I built my EVO I called and got opinions and information about what I was going to do. I am realize that you guys are professionals and knew everything before you ever set your eyes on a 4.6, but I need the input of professionals and people who have acctually tried different cams.
If you acctually have some good experience and knowledge I would greatly appreciate your input. If you don't then there is really no need for you to post anything.
