I recommend you look at CMS Blower cams. Cushmanmotorsports.com they drop right in sound amazing. I went with CMS 2.5's.

i am going to try out these cams.

Comp Cams Ford 4.6/5.4 SOHC Xtreme Energy XE274H Cams located on modmax. ill post whenever i get her running again what she did on the dyno with 12 psi. i am hoping to make at least 500 hp to the wheels. with port and polish and 2mm over size intake and exhaust valves i am hoping to make somewhere close. then i need to get some exhaust flowing instead of those manifolds and i should be seeing some good hp and torque jump.

Id make sure that these cams are good cams for blowers. Cus you dont really want an N/A cam with a blower/turbo.

Either get custom cams or cams designed for blowers. I have CMS stage 3 blower cams and love them. I just installed cms 2.5 blower cams in my friends cams and they sound good we will son on wed what they do.

350tq is what its rated at. So that tranny might be trash soon after the upgrade. Id suggest getting a TKO or a T56 to upgrade from the t3650.

Yes you would be around 500 rwhp. I have not built my engine yet, so I previously was running 390 rwhp at 10 PSI and aftercooled but blew the engine. My new setup should get me with cams and extra 3 psi and mid pipe to 500 rwhp.

Make sure you definitely get a blower cam.
